For the India Art Summit held at New Delhi during January earlier this year, Ketna Patel created a unique India POP! Tata Nano car completely covered with Sicis glass mosaic which was handcrafted in Ravenna, Italy.
The Tata Nano car was displayed at the sculpture park during the IAS, conceived as a jewel for the masses; a work of art that remains completely roadworthy and drivable.
Apart from the external bodyshell that has been covered in artistically handcut Sicis glass mosaic, the seating has been upholstered in India POP! artwork as well.
