Leon Fernandese painted Krishna in front of a Gay bar smoking ICE. Many people did not like it. They demanded to take it down. Here is Leon telling us, why he painted Krishna outside a Gay Bar. Take a listen.


"I certainly do feel I have the right to depict anything about Hindu God. I have done a lot of work on Christian God which is also been identified as quite sacrilegious. This is actually my first work. So yes. I am sacrilegious. The work I create can be described as sacrilegious but certainly if it causes tension, I would love to talk about it. I love opening this conversation.", Says Leon.
