Description
Blow Horn and Horn Please is the imperious advice given to overtaking drivers in India painted on the back-end of lorries and buses. Both a warning and an encouragement delivered in glorious rococo signage of swirling colour and curlicues, the words are just one example of a culture that considers every flat surface a potential canvas. In India, if it stays still long enough for someone to paint on it, it will be with graffiti of spiritual texts, folk art, and underwear ads. It’s the art of every day, of India as she is lived.
