In the course of his artistic career, K. Laxma Goud has dabbled in various mediums, styles, and subject matter, even though he has been primarily devoted to the themes of the sensuous in a bucolic setting. Featured in this Untitled work from the 1980s is an interesting collage that is different from Goud’s typical figures in a rural setting, especially of his village. That said, the element of erotica remains—the women are well endowed, the men are shown with giant penises. Here, he replaces the goat figure with that of a fish.
