Urban Poetic Wall Art

Urban Poetic — 2 museum-grade prints that set the mood. Haussmann's renovation of Paris between 1853 and 1870 standardized the six-storey apartment block with aligned cornices, mansard roofs, and continuous balcony lines — a visual grammar that still defines the city's boulevards from the Marais to Montmartre's lower slopes. Madhubani — Mithila painting from the Madhubani district and wider Mithila region of Bihar — traditionally adorned interior walls and floors during weddings, festivals, and seasonal rituals, with women artists using natural pigments (lamp black, geru ochre, indigo, turmeric, vermillion) and bamboo-tipped brushes. Kachni style emphasises fine line work and controlled hatching rather than the flat colour fills of Bharni; historically associated with intricate narrative and ceremonial restraint before colour was layered.
