A dash of street art

Location: Chapel Road

Artist: Rock

French artist Rock's work can still be seen around Bandra years after he and his art partner came to Mumbai to paint the streets. Together they're known as Poch & Rock. In 2012, Rock painted this well known piece on Chapel Road. It's one of the neighborhood favourites.

Location: Versova

Artist: Tyler

Tyler's work often revolves around socio-political themes. This piece depicts one of the most unsettling and memorable images from the Vietnam War that of a young girl running naked on a road with her back severely burned by napalm. It would be interesting to know what Tyler is saying about America here, feels Charanjiva.

Location: Dharavi

Artists: Ives.one and Beazarility

The Dutch Consulate invited the two artists to create a massive mural at Mumbai's largest slum. Mashing sports heroes — India cricketer MS Dhoni and Dutch footballer Wesley Sneijder, the street art duo, united two countries in art.

Location: Colaba

Artist: Nina Pandolfo

The mural Nina painted on the outer wall of Gallery Maskara depicts her signature style using wide-eyed girls with child-like features.

Location: Colaba

Artist: Os Gemeos

This piece is the only remaining Os Gemeos work in the city that hasn't been painted over. Jas Charanjiva considers the work a gift to the city.

Location: Bandra Reclamation

Artist: Tika

Charanjiva is a big fan of Tika's work, saying that her work appeals to everyone. The piece conveys the diversity between animals with whom we share this planet. She encourages people to "see the beauty of the present in this moment" .

Location: 4 Bungalows

Artist: Tyler

This piece reminds Charanjiva of why she loves street art. If a news story affects her, she immediately starts creating art around it just to have it on the street same night.

Location: Birdsong Cafe

Artist: TIKA

This is a piece was created on a day when Tika couldn't continue her New Friends mural. She created the iridescent scales of the creature's tail with foil that's used to package take-away food.

Location: Near Birdsong Cafe

Artist: ANO

The artist painted this blue elephant on Vienna Stores in two days. It's a fun distraction when stuck in traffic at the intersection near Holy Family Hospital.

Location: The Hive, Khar

Artists: Ranjit Dahiya and Jas Charanjiva

Many would have seen Mumbai's most famous mural that took Ranjit Dahiya over 800 litres of paint to create, using the MTNL building in Bandra as a canvas. Another mural sits at The Hive. Dahiya created this artwork of Mogambo during Ganeshotsav. Charanjiva's contribution to this work was a character (in pink shirt)offering Mogambo a modak.

Location: St Jude Bakery, Bandra

Artist: Luis Gomez de Teran

Just like Tika and ANO, Rome-based Gomez was invited to Mumbai by St+Art, India. His stunning mural occupies the side wall of Bandra's Jude Bakery. It's called Estasi meaning (ecstasy) in Italian. Gomez's chiaroscuro-style wall pieces are easily recognisable.
