KEEP DISTANCE Ring Set

This piece by Vershali Jain is inspired by the kaleidoscopic iconography of the Indian truck art. A unique art form—vernacular, anonymous, yet instantly recognizable.

"Indian trucks are more than just tools of transport—they are moving art galleries, declarations of personal belief, and expressions of pride, humor, and even protest. Some carry portraits of gods, others display fierce animals or poetic slogans, and almost all wear their hearts on their tailgates."

"My work aims to capture both the symbolism of this art form and the dedicated spirit of the artists who freehand paint these trucks over long hours. I imagined how the layers of colors were built and how calligraphy was done with masterful brush strokes. With that same spirit and technique, I constructed my enamel work. These pieces serve as an ode to the unsung art of Indian trucks and celebrates the limitless potential of enameling for surface adornment." -Vershali Jain
