Delhi: Asian Paints, India's paint and décor company, has presented ‘Reflections of Kerala’—a light installation. Created in collaboration with XXL Collective from the St+art India family, this artistic piece aims to honour Kerala’s culture.
The installation is inspired by the special-edition ‘Inspired By Kerala’ packaging of Apex Ultima Protek, Asian Paints’ luxury exterior paint. Standing tall at 12 feet, the installation has been set up at Lulu Mall, Kochi.
Earlier, the brand launched a limited-edition packaging of Apex Ultima Protek in March. Its special packaging pays tribute to Kerala, capturing its culture, traditions and art forms.
‘Reflections of Kerala’ installation continues this tribute. The installation combines cutout panels with lighting. Each cutout represents different cultural elements of Kerala's heritage. Strategically placed lighting behind the cutout project its designs onto surrounding surfaces, casting shadows, aiming to narrate the story and spirit of Kerala through the installation.
The installation showcases classical art forms such as Kathakali, Mohiniyattam, Theyyam, and Kalaripayattu to symbols such as Kerala’s serene backwaters and vibrant wildlife. It showcases woodwork and gabled roofs seen in temples, mosques, and native homes of Kerala.
The ‘Reflections of Kerala’ installation will be on display at Lulu Mall from May 14-28.
