Many Streets Many Wonders

🌈My India street series featured by the fabulous @homegrownin team.Thank you for this🙏🏽.... Do read my interview on their website https://homegrown.co.in 🙃🧘‍♀️🙏 Posted @withrepost • @homegrownin #HGArt // A Colourful Illustration Series Capturing The Vibrant Essence Of Indian Streets. . . ‘Many Streets Many Wonders’ by Zoya Chaudhary beautifully captures the vibrant nature of Indian cities. From the charming chaiwala to the local barber, these illustrations are a colourful and stylistic glimpse into India’s grass-root life and culture. The artist who is now based in Singapore, made this series as an ode to the vibrant magic of the streets. On speaking about the project, Zoya goes to add ' Ever since I moved out of India, I have lived with the fear that the smells, sounds and sights familiar to me would gradually disappear, as they have in other modernised cities of the world. The thought of the impersonal ‘mall culture’, that is fast taking over the world, where people are hidden behind brands and digitisation, where a laundry app turns your ‘dhobi’ into a button, gave birth to my series ‘Many Streets Many Wonders’. The series visually documents the local culture that I grew up in and am often nostalgic about. I’ve used a mix of paints, ink and cut-outs from my old notebooks (to put in a piece of myself) from when I used to be in India, as well as newsprint cut-outs to create the textures. I have used a minimal palette of 3-4 colours to achieve a flat graphic effect." ‘HG loves’ the use of colour and details to capture the diverse characters and nuances of the authentic street culture.
