" The streets of India are filled with Vivid representations of popular cultural themes. These range across political utopianism, religious celebration and commercial advertising, presenting a visual parade of transport, animals and people, hoardings, street furniture, architectural detail, packaging, display - backdrops and props of a rich cultural street theatre. 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"
