City’s wall art has taken off with a welcome fervour during the pandemic downtime with Mumbai’s walls serving as canvas for numerous recent artworks. The wall outside Cooperage football stadium has become a gratis, good looking streetside art gallery. The wall has been painted in black and white with a ‘heritage Bombay’ theme. There is a focus on nostalgia and iconic buildings, giving it an old world feel. Sachin D Halde, an artist from Palghar who brought his many years of artistic experience, said, “I started painting at the age of 16, today I am 41.” He added, “It was important that we roll back the years and take the people to another era with these paintings.”
