Fisherwoman

 Australian artist Guido Van Helten's work at Sassoon Dock was prompted by his process of walking around the dock and engaging with its community. His instantly recognisable mural of a fisherwoman's face is grand in scale; a larger-than-life portrait of everyday life at the Mumbai Urban Art Festival.

Life in Mumbai

A beautiful depiction of life in Mumbai by Trespassers in a mural at the Mumbai Urban Art Festival.

‘Refraction of Reflections’ is an installation by Trespassers that captures the kaleidoscope landscape of people, animals, boats and objects of the dock. Embedded terracotta sculptural elements make the installation appear different from each viewer’s perspective. It also invites the viewer to create their own sculptures and be a part of the artwork.

Kerala-based Trespassers are a troupe of seven artists who aim to bring art to the public and initiate a dialogue between passersby and their painted facades. Ref St+art India
