Literature:

Supria may be described as a hyperrealist painter who sets the subjects of his painting against highly imaginative and surrealistic backgrounds. In this painting, Supria has set off the yellow cranes against a background of crisscrossing industrial structures. The geometric shapes and angles of the structures add interest and dimension to this painting of realistic details. In true idiosyncratic fashion, Supria has chosen to elevate the subject matter of the non-descript yellow cranes, lending an element of artistic humor to this work.
