How does Kim McCarthy use stencils in Urban Buddha? How does the artist overcome the medium’s inability to produce shading?

What will be an ideal response?

Answer: The ideal answer should include:
1. McCarthy uses stencils to produce the images of the Buddha and repeat blue and green patterns in the background.
2. McCarthy applies a range of colors, brushstrokes, and paint drips to create a sense of depth that cannot be achieved with the positive and negative shapes produced by the stencils.
