Kannagi Nagar Wall Paintings @ Chennai

You’ll be surprised to know the latest tourist destination of Chennai – it’s Kannagi Nagar, a fisherman resettlement colony!

Yesterday I went to a Photo Walk organized by Madras Photo Bloggers to Kannagi Nagar to take some snaps of the beautiful wall paintings that have recently decorated the apartments there, thanks to St+Art India and Asian Paints.

Here is a Short Video with a few pics taken at Kannagi Nagar by me –

This area has around 80,000 people, and a few of the four-floor apartments built for their resettlement (Tsunami, Adyar river beautification, etc.) are in the process of being painted by 10 Artists from India & 5 Artists from abroad.

Each painting has a theme behind it. If you want to know the inspiration behind some of them, visit this informative page by Architecture Digest. Also, don’t forget to follow St+India’s Facebook page where they put up photos and information about all art projects they undertake across India.

    Wall paintings are nice creative art forms. They completely change the ambience of the locality.
