“The Red Hat” by Debajyoti Roy – Original Acrylic, Ink & Dry Brush Artwork on Handmade Paper

“The Red Hat” from The Clone Within series is a contemplative expression of psychological defiance and internal rupture. Measuring 66.31 cm × 86.36 cm, this large-format original artwork captures a faceless figure, crowned with a blazing red stripe, a powerful symbol of memory, rebellion, or perhaps the last trace of self in a world of erasure. The minimalist palette is punctuated by the symbolic red accent, creating an emotional contrast that resonates deeply with themes of post-human identity and inner fragmentation.

The texture of the deckle-edged handmade paper adds an organic element to the piece, elevating its visual and tactile impact. Surrounding the figure are birds, tangled lines, and passive shadows, reflecting themes of surveillance, escape, and emotional conflict. The artwork serves as a visual soliloquy on the duality of existence in a cloned reality, where selfhood is both shaped and erased.

This gallery-grade artwork is hand-signed by the artist and is available exclusively as a collector’s edition, with only 1 piece available in IndiTemptation’s Premium Vault.
