DescriptionGood things come to those who wait.Great things come to those who commission. It was the year 2020. The Pandemic had just begun here in the U.S., and a plucky young art rep on the internet by the name of Inky Knuckles introduced me to a very exciting new artist, Anand RK. Not only was I thrilled to see an artist from the subcontinent being featured, but I was enthralled by his loose, easy style that was full of energy. I knew I wanted a commission from him, and I knew I wanted to tap into our shared geographic and cultural background to create something unique. Mission f'n accomplished! Worth the wait. Easily. When Anand posted this to his Instagram I was obsessed. What he's captured here is an extremely realistic portrayal of what might be. The surreal set firmly in the real. The pose, the details, the colors - Anand hit every note perfectly. In chatting with him later he said that this was his very first commission! I can't wait to see where he goes next. 10"x14" Social/Sharing |

I love his dreamy magical style. Truly a cornerstone piece for your collection. Though, was it Inky Knuckles who repped him? His link goes through to Cadence's site (Though after the recent news, I dobut he's even repped by Cadence either!)
Great piece!

Great piece!
He switched to Cadence about a year ago (unfortunately, it seems).

Good things always brings me back to you
It never takes too long
Go Spider Mumbai day you choose
I'll still feel you here 'till pandemic is gone
You sold me with your brush
You Inky Knuckle brains
I never wanted anything so much Radhakrishnan your love
Anand feel your reign
Set me free, leave me Green
I don't want to Wall another moment into your Grafity
Here I am, rep Anand
So wall, just the way I'm supposed Blue be
But you're on to Green and all Spidery

Beautiful pallet of colors and pose, mixed together to add flavor to the kid on the streets version of spiderman.

YES. Loved this immediately when I saw it on IG and not hard to see why. So deliberate in execution, and so unique in terms of techniques and the choices Anand made.
Was also happy to catch up and see this beaut in person at OAX, M L, congrats!

Wow! The Spider-Man of Mumbai--Fantastic! Gorgeous work by Anand RK! I love this painting of of Spider-Man with his torn cosume, cargo shorts and hightops! It's so cool seeing the Spider-man of the streets of Mumbai! Love the pose, with SM sitting on his haunches, casually using a toothpick! It's all beautifully enhanced by Anand's bright, cheerful colors! The blue skies and puffy cloud behind Spidey, plus the sunshine lighting up the cityscape behind him give the whole painting such an upbeat feeling--I love it!
