Product Description

Synopsis
Like any form of Indian art, this collection of images is an all-enveloping feast for the senses. Sivakasi on the southern tip of India is where the sub-continent's major fireworks manufacturers are located and it is also the centre of the printing industry - when the two come together, the result is seering colours, bizarre typography and hallucinogenic images. It's an art of noisy extremes, a volcanic eruption of creativity - and all this before you even light the blue touch paper! Printed on boards in concertina form and packed in original fireworks boxes, this book celebrates a graphic language where understatement is suicidal, excess equals success, and sheer spectacle is everything.
