Cave Paintings With A Modern Twist At JP Nagar’s SOCIAL
When we think about cave paintings, we tend to go back to the prehistoric era. However, this time around, these paintings will give an insight into the present times! SOCIAL recently opened a new outlet in Bengaluru called JP Nagara SOCIAL. What’s different about this new place is the beautiful and quirky cave paintings that you can spot on the walls and some installations here.
Painted by the talented Prasad Bhat, these paintings go perfectly with the earthy vibe of JP Nagara SOCIAL. When Prasad was roped in to do his art on the walls of this place, he suggested going for cave painting with a modern twist to liven up this new eatery. So, you’ll find figures on walls with a ‘blue tick’ head, twerking, celebrating over drinks, and lots of social media-related artwork here.
Theme, Ambience & Everything To Watch Out At SOCIAL’s Newest Outlet
SOCIAL is famous for coming up with the quirkiest themes for their outlets. For JP Nagara SOCIAL, they settled on the theme – the Earth’s Fortress. The structure of this place is built using rammed earth wall construction. This is a sustainable construction technique and gives the building its signature earthy brown colour. Staying true to their theme, they have also used lots of cane, wood, and stones for flooring, lighting and furniture here. The overall airy ambience of this place adds to the charm and gives it an earthy feeling. There is also a lot of greenery with indoor plants here. Basically, everything here adds to the theme and is brought together beautifully by the cave paintings.
Just how cool do these paintings look? We love how traditional art styles can be revived to give them a modern outlook! What’s your take on this? Let us know in the comments!
