Title: Three Lions Painting by Tathi Premchand, 2003 "Three Lions" (2003) by Tathi Premchand is a symbolic painting inspired by the Lion Capital of Ashoka. The three lion faces represent strength, courage, and wisdom. Suspended like a puppet, the sculpture suggests questions about power, authority, and control in modern society. The wheel at the base recalls the Ashoka Chakra and the ideals of justice and progress. The muted colors create a thoughtful and reflective mood. By combining a national symbol with contemporary imagery, the artist invites viewers to reconsider the meaning of freedom and governance. The work balances tradition and modernity while expressing a subtle social commentary. It remains a striking example of Premchand's imaginative visual language.
