Artist Anpu Varkey enjoys being accepted as a “worker on the streets”
The Hindu
Anpu has just completed a mural in Thiruvananthapuram as part of the Arteria 2021 Edition
Splattered with paint from head to toe, Anpu Varkey’s eyes crinkle in a smile as we, masked and socially distanced, settle in the lobby of Hotel South Park to talk about her huge mural that is coming up on two walls of an arterial underpass at Palayam in Thiruvananthapuram. Part of the Arteria 2021 Edition, conceptualised by the Kerala Government’s Department of Tourism and Steel Industrials Kerala, to beautify public spaces, there are 19 artists at work on the project curated by Ajith Kumar and Aneeta Rose Abraham. Each artist has chosen a space. With just an umbrella for protection from the sun and the rain, Anpu was mostly perched on a crane to complete her 3,500 square-foot mural.
