Response on This Place That Place

This Place That Place is a painting by Kiran Chandra, she was born in India. When you find out about this the painting is already much more interesting than it looked like at first sight. The right side of the painting is probably Kolkata, a place in India. The image is very dark en shows us the contrast between a poor city and a richer society. The use of language is very funny, she actually only uses two words: 'this' and 'place' and she painted these two words in a couple of different ways. She probably ment to show that India is a very poor place to live, there's not enough food, not enough space and it's just not healthy.
