Painter of signs

South Indian cities a decade ago brimmed with hand painted hoardings! Colorful hoardings gave life and identities to cities along with livelihood for thousands of artists. Artists and artisans who labored to provide panoply of films advertisements, cut-outs of politicians, film stars and Republic Day parade tableau vehicles are now replaced by digital technology that verge on assembly line production in making vinyl hoardings. Creativity and talent wasted in menial labor struggling to make ends meet! This film is intended to portray the plight of the hoarding painters and the destitution of their art in the wake of digital vinyl technologys ruthless intervention.

what kind of colours do u use?

[@michaelrodrigues2632]

Are the colours water based or solvent based. Are the florescent colours available in large tins in India? Please reply.. Thanks...

[@Sukhibaba]

They use enamel paint with thinner which is available in range of quantities. It works well for blending bright colors.

[@Sukhibaba]

Enamel paint.

[@cosmodin]

exceptionally captured and presented! I would request a favor from you. We are doing a video about the glorious billboard art during the 50s to 90s in Tamil cinema. For that purpose, I request to use a few seconds of clippings of your video. We will rightly give video clip credits to you in our KZbin channel. Its The Rise Nalla Cinema. Thank you in advance.

[@Sukhibaba]

Sorry for the delayed reply. Thanks for your encouraging feedback. If you use any part of my work, I would like you mention in your credits. Acknowledge. Also share your final work for me see. All the best!

All that effort for nothing

[@Sukhibaba]

Now this art is almost extinct, replaced by vinyl hoardings. It is loss of so many talented artists and their livelihoods. Each city had its own vernacular visual cultural identity. Now its standardized characterless digital prints. After the event, the vinyl hoarding plastic waste goes to landfills.
