Wall of Gratitude

“These unsung heroes were the immunity system of our nation–constantly fighting the virus on ground.”

Harsh Goenka, Chairman, RPG Enterprises

The Wall of Gratitude, painted across a 10,000 sq-ft wall at RPG House in Mumbai, is a heartfelt tribute to the Covid Warriors who worked round-the-clock during the pandemic. Featuring doctors, nurses, policemen, media persons, delivery boys and cleaners, the wall is an expression of gratitude for all the selfless hard work done by these brave individuals during these difficult times.

Cutting Chai

Cutting Chai

Sheetal Ghatani, 2021

Cutting Chai, a drink unique to Mumbai holds a very special place in the heart of the city and its inhabitants. Literally translating to cutting a portion of tea into half, it is a smaller but punchier dose of chai that’s perfect for the busy city-dweller on the go, be it office colleagues bonding during breaks or strangers over politics and weather. Mumbai’s cutting chai is akin to the city’s lifeblood. Taking inspiration from this, the 10 feet high stainless steel and acrylic installation is an ode to the city that never sleeps and the tea that connects all Mumbaikars. A city beautification initiative by RPG ART Foundation, in partnership with MCGM.

Yoga on the Sealink

"Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self, to the self."

Sharanbasappa Alloli, 2017

The Sealink is synonymous with the bustling city of Mumbai and has made traveling easier for thousands of Mumbaikars who now save time daily. But how many of us have made use of this time to adopt a healthy lifestyle and lead a balanced life? Yoga on the Sealink is a metaphor for a fitter Mumbai, one that bridges the gap between mind, body and soul, and captures the artist’s hope for a healthy life for the people of the city.

Baby Face

Baby Head - City of Dream

Chintan Upadhyay, 2014

The artist views Mumbai to be a city of migrants, a metropolis that is dynamic and ever morphing. He says, “Cities like Mumbai inspire and destroy. A baby's head is a metaphor of newness. The sculpture stands for the iconic events of this city, the people who live in it and who impact it. It is virtually a shrine that one circles.  As you go past, you see the visible and invisible, its daily changing faces. We all come to the city with a dream. Sometimes we carry with us the guilt of having exploited someone weaker. We also have a desire to leave a mark on city space. This sculpture is an act of mark-making.

Indian cinema has become part and parcel of our daily lives. It has, in its glorious 100 years, produced some of the finest directors, path-breaking films and exceptionally-talented actors. This sculpture is a tribute to India’s visionary film makers for their contribution to the field of cinema

Mumbai Dabbawala

Valay Shende, 2017

The ‘Mumbai’s Dabbawala’ has been a recurrent motif in the artist’s work. Made up of Stainless Steel discs, with lunch box in hand, Valay Shende’s Dabbawala represents the precision and punctuality with which the lunchboxes reach their destination daily. Studied by the Harvard Business School as a case study for service excellence, these tiffin carrying men epitomise the city’s unique work ethic and ethos.

Fisherman

Fisherman

Debanjan Roy, 2017

One of Mumbai’s original inhabitants, the Koli fishing community has thrived in their traditional Koliwada homes that embrace the sea. Their love for the sea is reflected in their dress, dance forms, settlements and cuisine. With their distinctive zest and vibrancy, they helped develop the city’s harbour and coastline when it was a cluster of seven islands. The crimson of the sculpture is the artist’s tribute to their joyous, indefatigable spirit.

Tetrapod

Tetrapod

Sunil Padwal, 2016

Tetrapods are an integral part of Mumbai's seascape. They remind us of the reclaimed land, seven islands and its glorious history. This sculpture is a visual metaphor of the contrasts that define our city – the past and the present, old and new, high rises set against beautiful old monuments.

Waves

Waves

Krishna Kedar, 2020

A tribute to a legend for his unmatched contribution to the world of sport. The waves of the Arabian sea symbolise energy, buoyancy, tranquillity and velocity. They represent the courage to overcome obstacles thrown our way in our daily lives with vigour, just like the waves that gather up again with renewed force after hitting the shore. Taking inspiration from the Arabian Sea, the 500 tennis racquets’ installation is an ode to Leander Paes’ story of triumph, grit and determination in the field of sport and the spirit of persistence that defines all Mumbaikars.

This painting by T.V. Santosh draws you into a serene, almost melancholic realm. The soft blue hues wrapped around a woman’s face, her gaze drifting somewhere distant, beyond reach. Shadows and light merge to create a sense of quiet mystery, inviting us to linger, to wonder about the story etched within her expression. 

Artist: @tvsanthosh18

Captured in this moment, artist Ahmed Javed immerses himself in creativity, his brush poised to bring dreams to life on a blank canvas. The focused expression speaks to the quiet determination that defines every artist's journey. 

What stories do you think are waiting to unfold in his artwork?

There’s something about this painting that draws you in, right? The quiet confidence, the unapologetic gaze, the way she owns that deep red couch. It’s like she’s daring you to step into her world yet keeping just enough distance to make you wonder what’s going on beneath the surface. Abir Karmakar, has a way of capturing these in-between moments—somewhere between strength and vulnerability, elegance and raw emotion.

What do you feel when you look at her?

Artist: @AbirOctober

#AbirKarmakar #ArtWithSoul #InTheMoment #RPGArtFoundation
In the heart of a chaotic urban landscape, the artist dares to paint a silver donkey—a symbol of resilience or perhaps irony? Ahmed Javed captures a scene where modernity meets tradition, where rubble and rooftops blend into a forgotten skyline. The donkey, faceless yet reflective, invites us to question its place in the world—and ours. It’s a moment frozen between action and contemplation.

What story do you see unfolding here?

More than just a thumbprint, it’s a reminder of how each of us leaves our own unique mark on the world. 
Artist @Prasantasahu24 captures the essence of identity in the simplest of forms, yet it speaks volumes. It’s amazing how something so ordinary can feel so powerful.

#PrashantaSahu #YourMarkMatters #RPGArtFoundation #EveryDetailCounts #ArtAndIdentity
An ethereal gaze that transcends the canvas and captures not just a face but the essence of quiet divinity. 
The subtle textures of the painting evoke a timeless presence, reminding us that art is where spirit meets form.

Artist: Suhas Roy 

How do you interpret this soulful serenity?

This evocative piece by the celebrated Indian modernist Ram Kumar captures the essence of abstraction. The play of muted tones against sharp contrasts feels like a poetic dialogue between serenity and tension, where the use of space pulls you into an unspoken narrative.

An all pervading, all knowing presence that keeps an eye on all that we do. Big Brother? Or God? Or is it our own Conscience? Questions that this work by @PrasantaSahu24 evoke.

Women are often told to be careful and dress conservatively in order to avoid being harassed. To stay home and not step out at night. It is time to change the instruction. It is time that men are taught to respect women, understand boundaries and consent.
