his most popular sculpture project is perhaps the pet shop project , which is an ongoing production of a `` model baby '' for every season.baby fetish - having tried different things -- mediums and visual grammar -- some 10 years ago , chintan finally found his voice in a baby sculpture in fibre glass .
he got fixated on them .
so viewers at times would find them on a canvas , at times in a cage , on a stand , doing somersaults , jumping ... the babies were there all the time and everywhere in his world .
at his home too , the babies abound wearing the same expression .
manufactured and not real , alienated and not innocent , the artist is referring to consumerism and the society 's obsession with the new .
he talked about genetic modification and designer babies in india .
he also run sandarbh , a nonprofit organization set up for residencies , workshops , and programs , and dedicated to promoting the arts and raising awareness about contemporary artistic practices in rural areas of india .
it 's a radical experiment that brings artists from india and the world to a small village called partapur , rajasthan.they live and engage with the local community there through the means of art .
