Book On The Wall
Want your favourite story mounted on your wall as a poster? Check out a unique exhibition at Anemos. UK based artists have transformed the stories that have fired your imagination, from classics to best-sellers, in the form of posters that you can put up on the walls of your room. The Narrators have been instrumental in bringing these posters for the first time in India. These framed posters carry the entire story on a satiny canvas, with a tasteful illustration making it a unique way to exhibit what you love to read on your walls. Reshma Jain, from The Narrators, says, “The event will showcase The Narrators’ wide range of imported book posters specially designed and printed on lush, satin-finish, non-reflective paper. The entire text of a book flows around the canvas to create an iconic image from the story in the negative space. From classics such as Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice to newbies such as the vampire-themed Zombies by Seth Grahame-Smith, there are many categories to choose from. There’s fiction, non-fiction and even The New Testament and Little Prince.”
