Himmat Shah is a renowned artist who lives in Jaipur, India. At 82, he has a formidable body of work that is as much path-breaking as it is fascinating. We had to write the content for his book on high relief. This book covers the history and process behind three high relief walls that Himmat created in St Xavier's Primary School, Ahmedabad, in the late 1960s.
After meeting Himmat and the designers, numerous interviews, and over 10,000 words, we had a story that we hoped did justice to the person, his art, and his unique philosophy. Through these walls we gain insights about Himmat and his journey in Modern Art. We haven't looked at words, walls, and the world in the same way since!
You can read more about interviewing Himmat, crafting the strategy and the writing process.
