THE STREETS OF INDIA ARE FILLED WITH VIVID representations of popular cultural themes. These range across political utopianism, religious celebration and commercial advertising, present-ing a visual parade of transport, animals and people, hoardings, street furniture,architectural detail, packaging, display - backdrops and props of a rich cultural street the-atre. Striking images blur in a confusion of colour, scale and quantity. Static or moving,figure or landscape, every surface is a panorama, every material a canvas, an opportunity for expression and communication. India's hectic festive calendar adds transient decorative layers of dye, paint, flowers and lights over a continuous celebration of street graphics.
