will capture people's uncanny expressions in the advent of a miscommunication.

Simon uses old twisted credit cards instead of a brush to paint a black canvas with barely recognisable faces that are born out of a conflict between "realism" and "abstraction".

Similarly, Deny Pribadi's painting- "Hunting" will show humans as predators and their innate greed to dominate, colonise and fight.

Batra says the show has been curated to break the boundaries of niche art which is usually available at unaffordable prices.

"If we talk about the art market from the point of money, there is hardly any option available for people to buy something which fits their pockets and is yet unusual and contemporary.

"The objective was to club together unusual art pieces which are inspired by pop culture. The show not only holds a fresh perspective but is also available at affordable prices," she says.

Mexican artist Marcela Montemayor's painting "Pop Soda" has a cherry flavoured coca-cola can along with a muffin, implying the "pleasure" one can experience merely by looking at images of food.

South Korean artist Jinho Kee's playful balloons will depict an accurate metaphor for life - the vicious cycle of tension and relaxation through the ephemeral life of balloons.

"We are delighted to open our space to a wider audience.

This is an exciting initiative to bring in new international perspectives," says Hugo Weihe, CEO of Saffronart Gallery.

The exhibition is set to continue till March 28.
