Two years ago, Jaipur hosted the first edition of Cartist, an automobile art festival. The brainchild of vintage car restorer Himanshu Jangid, who owns United Restorations, it was started with the aim of connecting people and art. Last year also saw 10 artists, including Pradeep Puthoor and Raj More, painting 10 Tata Nanos as part of their Moving Art Project. And, in each city, they will engage with local artists, the art fraternity, youth and the general public. It’s a daunting endeavour, but one Jangid believes is worth it, in order to sensitise people about the importance of art — both automobile and otherwise.
