The Tourist

The inspiration for this artwork comes from the social media and smartphone revolution. While working in Lodhi Colony, Avinash and Kamesh observed that a lot of people came every day to click pictures of the murals and the artists, while also taking selfies and group shots, or posing for fashion shoots. With this mural, the duo turned the lens towards the viewer, as a comment on the selfie generation and on the nature of street art as well. This art movement, in fact, has become so ‘trendy’ due to its openness, that its captivating visuals have inundated social media, making this phenomenon as popular on the web as it is on the streets.
