The Wow Factor

I am tired of the blue doors and the golden locks. And I’m sure that I don’t want to see more exhibits of Ladakh and Chandni Chowk’s sleeping rickshawallahs,” says Delhi-based fashion photographer Rohit Chawla,45,referring to the common subjects of photo exhibitions. His own show is called World of Wearable Art (WOW) and it attempts to “take art off the wall and adorn the body in wildly fascinating ways”.

One of the exhibits explores cosmic surrealism while another,called I am What I Drive is a spoof on the upwardly mobile generation that has moved on from ‘I am what I love’ to ‘I am what I drive’. Chawla’s technique is graphic and he stresses on the maintenance of “symmetry and straight lines.”
