Indian artist Pranava Prakash , famous for his paintings of female celebrities in the nude, claims he was beaten up last weekend by men who said his work was an insult to his country. More from GlobalPost: Is free speech on the way out in India? Prakash told Agence France Presse that a gang broke into a gallery where his work is currently on show in Noida, south-east of New Delhi, yesterday. The exhibition, titled "Bollywood Unlimited," features nudes of popular female actors including Vidya Balan and Veena Malik. The owner of the Espace Alternative galley, Nishant Sinha, confirmed Prakash's account, telling the Times of India : "Nearly four to five persons stormed into the gallery and shouted slogans against nudity. When artist Pranava tried to pacify them, he was thrashed and his paintings torn. Prakash is associated with a pop-art style that places well-known figures in unexpected and often compromising positions, and has been subject to controversy in the past. One Delhi gallery, for instance, cancelled a planned exhibition after it became known that Prakash had painted activist and author Arundhati Roy naked in bed with Chairman Mao and Osama Bin Laden for a work titled "Goddess of Fifteen Minutes of Fame. The reported physical attack on Prakash and his artworks, however, is the latest sign that India's debate over freedom of expression is escalating.
