"Impressions of Lodhi" by Yip Yew Chong

The mural Impressions of Lodhi covers a wall in Lodhi Colony with scenes of daily life. Yip Yew Chong painted these images in two thousand twenty-three, depicting men playing carrom, women chatting on porches, and vegetable vendors balancing baskets. The artist spent days observing the neighborhood before picking up his brush, choosing to focus on the quiet rituals of the residents rather than grand historical figures. A bicycle leans against a painted wall, blurring the line between the art and the street.
