JUNGLEE JUNGLE

The Junglee Jungle: A Glo-cal garden of British Identity

The United Kingdom, often regarded as a cradle of history and tradition, is undeniably an ancient country of immigrants. Its rich tapestry of culture and identity has been woven over centuries, shaped by the arrival of diverse waves of people from around the globe. From the Celts and Romans to the Anglo-Saxons, Vikings, Normans, and beyond, each group of newcomers brought with them unique languages, customs, and traditions that have profoundly influenced what it means to be British.

As a British Indian artist with experience spanning six Commonwealth countries, my latest collection delves into the theme of identity within the UK's Indian diaspora. Having returned to London after 25 years in Asia, I find inspiration in the city's immigrant communities, witnessing the emergence of a renewed collective anthropology. Through compositions rich in nature and foliage, I symbolize the changing seasons, echoing the fluidity of a regenerative British self-image. This Artwork hopefully encourages viewers to reflect on the interconnected diversity of our shared post-colonial human experience, resonating with the evolving rhythms of nature and Mother Earth.

Each Fine Art Print is titled, numbered and signed in Ketna’s handwriting.

Depending on each composition’s ‘personality’, colour spectrum and destined geographical location, the Artwork is printed either as a C-Type print on Fuji gloss paper or as a Giclee print on Hahnemuhle Photo Rag paper. (For humid countries e.g Singapore, C-type Fuji paper is advised as it is does not let moisture and mould through)

All Prints are made at the most accredited and reputable Printing studios in London, Singapore or New Delhi, using the best quality fine art archival paper available.

The studio meticulously keeps account of each numbered print, including when and who it was sold to, so there is no chance of duplication.

Each Fine Art Paper Print comes in an edition of 50, so for the three sizes, the total prints ever made will be 150.

Each Metal Print comes in an edition of 25, so for the three sizes, the total prints ever made will be 75.  

Each Acrylic Print comes in an edition of 10, so for the three sizes, the total prints ever made will be 30.

For each composition, there are up to 5 Artists Proofs for colour and production quality checks. The total edition for each artwork is therefore 260.

Each Print is made to order. Please allow 10 working days for delivery.
