About the Artwork +

This painting depicts the deer grazing grass. They are all look up at the flock of birds flying high in the sky. The birds, animals are depicted in motion. The lines are used in such a way that they convey a sense of motion and movement to the images. Dots and waves enhance the sense of movement and details. There is no perspective of the elements in the painting which is set in a natural setting.

Saroj Venkat Shyam belongs to the Pardhan Gond tribal community and was born in village Patangarh, district Dindori, Madhya Pradesh. She has been practising Gond art for the last 20 years and has exhibited internationally and also conducted many gond art workshops in India.

In the depths of Madhya Pradesh, India, beats the heart of the Gonds- a tribe as old as time. As the community bard (singers) or Pardhan invokes their Great God- Bada Deo- while playing the Bana instrument, he fulfills the crucial task of keeping alive the legendary tales of the ancient Gond kings. Every story, song, dance, and painting brings the community together in a shared celebration of nature and the universe. The Gond tribe has several branches or gotras, each with its own story of origin. The Pardhans, they say, are descended from the youngest of seven Gond brothers who became a priest and a storyteller on the instruction of Bada Deo. As the ancient tribal fable unfolds in the 21st century, the gond artist’s vivid paintings narrate tales of their faiths and beliefs, world view, their visual expression and sense of identity - both as a collective , and as individuals. Vibrant colours and animated motifs filled with intricate patterns of dots and dashes bring their mythical jungle to life. Trees, animals, birds, the sky, water, and earth sway and dance to the rhythm of the Pardhan’s tunes and brush strokes. Gond traditions and fables are a reflection of man’s close connection with his natural surroundings. The Gond painting transports you to the seamless world of the imaginative and the surprising.

Gond


Gond art is a vibrant and enchanting form of traditional folk painting that originates from the Gond tribal community of Madhya Pradesh, India. Renowned for its intricate patterns, vivid colors, and distinctive storytelling techniques, Gond art reflects the rich cultural heritage and deep connection of the Gond people with their natural surroundings. Gond art is distinguished by its bold use of color and intricate pattern work. The style typically features a combination of geometric patterns, dot work, and fine lines that create a sense of rhythm and movement within the artwork. The use of vibrant colors, often derived from natural sources like minerals and plants, adds to the dynamic quality of the paintings. The themes of Gond art are deeply intertwined with the tribal community's relationship with nature, mythology, and daily life. Common motifs include depictions of animals, birds, trees, and landscapes, often rendered in an abstract and stylized manner. The art frequently illustrates folklore and mythological stories, such as tales of local deities, spirits, and the tribal community's ancestral heritage. The integration of these themes into the artwork reflects the Gond people’s reverence for the environment and their cultural narratives, making each piece a rich tapestry of their traditional beliefs and stories. History  Gond art has ancient roots that trace back to the Gond tribal communities of central India. Historically, this art form was practiced by the Gond people as a way to visually document their lives, beliefs, and the natural world around them. Traditionally, Gond art was created on the walls of homes and village huts, serving both decorative and symbolic purposes. Over time, the art form has evolved from its original ritualistic and ceremonial roles to a celebrated contemporary art movement, with artists gaining recognition both nationally and internationally for their unique style and storytelling prowess. Materials and Methods Traditionally, Gond art was created using natural materials, including dyes made from plants and minerals, on surfaces such as mud walls and cloth. Modern Gond artists have adapted these traditional methods to include paper, canvas, and acrylic paints, allowing for greater versatility and durability. The technique involves sketching detailed outlines of the design, which are then filled with intricate patterns and vibrant colors. The artists employ fine brushes, pens, and sometimes even their fingers to achieve the detailed and textured effects characteristic of Gond art. Significance  Gond art holds significant cultural and social value within the Gond community and beyond. It serves as a medium for preserving and communicating tribal stories, rituals, and beliefs, maintaining a vital link between past traditions and contemporary practices. The art form also plays a crucial role in the economic empowerment of Gond artists, who gain recognition and opportunities through their creative expressions. By showcasing Gond art, there is a broader appreciation and preservation of tribal heritage, contributing to the diversity and richness of India's artistic landscape. FAQs How can I display Gond art in my home? Gond art can be displayed as framed wall art, adding a vibrant and culturally rich touch to any room. Its intricate patterns and bold colors make it suitable for both traditional and modern interiors, serving as a focal point or part of a larger gallery display. Is Gond art suitable for gifting? Yes, Gond art makes a unique and meaningful gift, particularly for those who appreciate traditional crafts and cultural heritage. It is ideal for special occasions, such as birthdays, anniversaries, or housewarmings, and adds a touch of artistic and cultural significance to any gift. Do you offer custom Gond art pieces?
