Manish arora, kala ghoda arts festival, urban art festival. But it is often missed in the hustle-bustle of our daily lives. "As designers, we are often busy with mass production of a single creative idea, but to work on a larger-than-life project that would be accessible to the masses is a thrilling idea and very fulfilling to the creative senses of a designer,” says Nimish. When the Jindals decided to participate in the Urban Art Festival and allowed us to use their iconic heritage office-cum-residence in Mumbai, we knew we had the best canvas to bring this artwork to life.Inspired by his personal life philosophy, ‘All We Need is Love’, the designs interpret the emotion in different forms. As an artist who has often created installations and played with many mediums, I feel that public art brings the art straight to a mass viewer ship. Art and fashion mingle as designers extend their talent and creativity to bring public art projects to life. Most importantly, it gets people talking about art and expression.

We hope ‘All We Need Is Love’ is able to strike a chord of love, peace and harmony with everyone who sees it,” says Manish.Public art, is most often a reflection of society or a projection of the artists’ emotions. Also, it is interesting to see how an artist approaches a project and there is so much you can learn from a single concept,” says fashion blogger Pallavi Singh. The installation was the result of six months of ideating, 35 artisans and three months of execution.

While the mingling of the art and fashion worlds is not a modern concept, the visibility of this crossover is unfortunately rare in the mainstream. It makes people stop, wonder, introspect or just soak the in sight.THE ASIAN AGE.The project is a part of St+art and started when they approached him over a year ago with the idea to collaborate on an inclusive piece of art. I want people to stop and ponder when they look at the installation and for that minute, feel pure unadulterated love,” says Manish, who has always thought of himself as an artist and a designer and never limited his creativity.
