About the Show







The show was called Octomom: a mom who gave birth to 8 children. It was the most controversial show in Kalamazoo, Michigan till date.

As an artist he had to scrutinize some elements that got him started on the subject.  This show totally was based on the general opinion that was floating around:

• The new century mother?
• What are your limits as a mother?  

He has projected Octomom a risk taker and that's all. In some painting he has projected Octomom somewhat like a hero and in others a mother who is holding on to dear life.  His favorite piece from this show depicts octomom as a warrior; a warrior with a sword. Its a fight scene in the painting with multiple horses where octomom is shown on a horsewomen with a sword in her hand while no one riding the rest of the horses. This painting represents the idea that she is fighting a battle with her own self and no one else. This similar idea was also implemented in octomom's sculpture where she was shown hanging up the noose while still holding on to the noose with other hand.

 Artist Singh says that the news media did not do any justice to his art exhibition.  

 

During the show the controversial sculpture out side his gallery was shown from one side and other side was missing in the picture where Octomom is  shown holding on to the noose.

 

There were other paintings in the show that had no mention in the media at all.

Following were the subjects of some of those paintings:

• Octomom playing flute
• Octomom a only warrior
• Octomom life in general
• and more ....

Suleman took a risk in carrying eight babies to term and then in going public with her identity, “and that risk was as good as killing herself,” "I know art makes people uncomfortable. I see good discussion came out of it and thousand of people got to express their opinion. This is Art."
