Singaporian painter YC exhibits his outstanding painting skills on Lodhi Colony govt quarters’ walls

The Singaporian Painter Yip Yew Chong drawing n painting( graffiti in making) over the residential walls in Lodhi Colony to give the walls a fascinating look. It’s an initiative of an NGO called Start India ( Street Art India) where in majority of the residential walls of government quarters at Lodhi colony are being painted by artists from various countries to beauty the ambience of the colony n also to promote the street art culture. Huge amount of paint that is being used in these art work is reportedly being sponsered by Asian Paints n so is the crane used in the process, being provided free of costs by its manufacturers.

Many budding painters n commercial artists are participating in this endeavour to fine tune their calibre in painting with experienced, outstanding artists n painters. Lodhi Colony govt quarter walls with magnificient graffities have become hot spots for selfies n pre wedding shoots in the capital where students of Arts, the local residents n young ones collect for photo shoots using these serene/ attractive/ fascinating backgrounds. Even the You Tube professionals are making full use of these magnificient walls with colourful art work as attractive backgrounds for their shoots.

The residents n onlookers enjoy this outstanding feats of artists while they are busy painting the huge walls. In the first instance the walls chosen fit for painting are scratched of old n unwanted plasters and are fully repainted. The artists then come into the picture who first draw sketches of the art and thereafter multicolour painting executed. The process of drawing art n painting is going on for several months n many foreign painters have participated in the exercise with Delhi’s budding painters too fine tuning their art through these wall paintings in Lodhi Colony.

Singaporian Painter Yip Yew Chong said that after reaching Delhi at the painting spot in Lodhi Colony he was having no idea what to draw n paint on the walls. He therefore walked in the locality for few days to watch the peoples’lifestyle and happenings in the surroundings.

After observing the stray cows roaming in the colony, residents reading newspaper n flute baloon seller busy roaming the locality to earn hislivelihood, I finally decided to paint them n this is how I made up my mind. YC was on crane for at least 6 to 7 hours painting the balloon n fluteseller finally giving precision to his art work. Kudos.
