This painting was part of The Southall Series created from 2001-2003. It was my second collection of Southall, the town I grew up in the early 70's til early 80's. As most teenagers, I grew to dislike my Indian community and very much admired the neighbouring town with its cool clothes shops and fast food places. It wasn't til I was an adult, my admiration grew of this migrant community. I learnt through hard work and perseverance, Southall had grown into a vibrant, radiant and energetic town with its enterprising shops of sarees, jewellery and indian culinary. This painting was based on the congregation that gathers daily in the main mandip (temple). The older generation still hold their religious beliefs close to their hearts. Many Hindu families have a shrine of The Gods at home but visiting a mandip or gurdwara of mosque also allows many people to come together in modern Britain. I captured a moment of mediation within a serene setting.
