'Shantaram' Book Cover

The Brief: Using your artistic hands, re-design a cover for a book of your choice. The finished piece needs to reflect the story. I chose ‘Shantaram’ by Gregory David Roberts. Using oil paints I created three layers to represent each time the authors story was found and destroyed by prison guards before the third copy was published. The first two layers of black chains and Kara’s green eye were painted and then scraped off and finished with a final layer written in Marathi - 'I’m in love with you that’s all’. Restricted / Liberated / Adventure - Relish and embrace change The Work: Oil painting, photography, composition and typesetting.
