St+Art India: “The Tourist” by Avinash & Kamesh in New Delhi

We continue our ongoing coverage of the excellent St+Art India festival with a brand new piece from Avinash and Kamesh in the district of Lodhi Colony, New Delhi.

The inspiration for this wall comes from the social media and smart phone revolution. While working in Lodhi colony, Avinash and Kamesh observed how a lot of people came daily to take pictures of the murals and the ongoing work of the artists, taking a bunch of selfies and group shots, or posing for fashion shoots. The artists decided to turn the wall around on the viewer as a comment on the selfie generation.

Take a look at more images by Akshat Nauriyal and stick with your friends at StreetArtNews for the latest updates from the streets.
