Days after Borivali and Khar stations in Mumbai were given cheerful makeovers, a similar art attack has taken over the Govindpuri Metro station in Delhi.
In an initiative led by Start India - a non-profit organisation promoting street art - and Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), artist Agostino Iacurci from Rome has transformed the face of the metro station by painting its boundary walls and over-bridges in vibrant colours. A girl with long flowing hair, trees, tigers and more are now splashed across the station's exteriors.
According to a press release by DMRC dated January 29, the station has been redecorated as part of Delhi Metro's policy of utilising its premises to promote art and culture. The pilot project began on January 21 and will be completed sometime early this month. Similar projects for other metro stations may be taken up in the days to come.
The release also stated that the artwork on the walls will be maintained by Start India for the next five years, and can be repainted post that.
Delhizens already seem to be loving the new look.
