We recently went for a walk in the Lodhi Art District and the artwork from so many artists blew our minds. These paintings were painted for an art festival last year by the St+art India Foundation that aims to make our streets more interactive through the medium of urban art festivals across India.
Here are some of the pictures that we took:

We think it is such a wonderful Idea to choose these dull walls as your canvas and turn it into something so beautiful and also, the idea of an open Art exhibit that makes the art easily available to everyone.
Let us know which one of these is your favorite? Ours is the one with the elephant and the one with the birds: “colours of the soul”

To pick a favorite wall is difficult… the birds Colours of the Soul and the free-falling camera guy would be my first two picks.
What resonated the most with me, was the astronaut atop the wall metaphor. Not only do I see things from another perspective…I live life from another perspective. 😀
I appreciate the descriptions you added.
Wall painting should happen EVERYWHERE!
Thank you for sharing this unique and inspiring post..
And thank you for finding and following me…I will gladly reciprocate.
