Having one of those synchronistic, rambling kind of days where everything weaves together. I think I shall start calling these sorts of days 'Bantock Days'.
Start at the beginning: I'm fascinated with Bodie's apartment. You know, the one in The Purging if CI5 and Need to Know... Every time I watch those, I never even pick up the storyline

paris7am points out a detail I forgot to mention - the people are Shiva and Parvati so I bet you're right!

Anyway, it will be interesting to see if someone can turn up a specific reference of a specific art piece in a museum or something these are based on - I'd like to read a bit more about it and see a photo.

I have to wonder how much thought they put into the background stuff in the apartments. The one 'Doyle' obsession for me is that damn banana poster... They used in in a few sets (not just Doyle's apartment) and I get the feeling there's a whole cultural thing behind it (like we have the Farrah in a bathing suit poster in American culture.) Anyway, I find it a total scream - the freudian implications and all. ;-)

ha! sorry :p
I knew it was hindu erotica probably from that famous temple, but don't know much more to find out the detail. It was sad enough the lengths I went to find the Giorgione painting! The piece I don't deal with is the 80s pop art stiletto image :) Yeah I think the Freud would be very pleased with Bodie's decor :p

Anyway: I'd agree that Bantock's pic is drawn from a piece of sculpture. And it's definitely Indian in style. I have browsed through my book about Indian art, but it's not in there. But you have made me curious, I'll try and find out more in the university library next week. I'm sure I can find something there.

I too love to see how the characters' flats are dressed. Thank you, AgentX and watteax, for shedding light on the piece of art in Bodie's flat!
