About the Artwork +

Venkat Shyam's Gond painting depicting a Mahua tree is a vivid and enchanting portrayal that captures the cultural and economic significance of this tree for the Gond people. Set against a mesmerizing background of blue and green shades, the Mahua tree stands as the focal point of the composition, exuding a sense of grandeur and vitality.

The Mahua tree in the painting is laden with an abundance of fruits, depicted with meticulous detail and vibrant colors. These fruits, a central element of the composition, are being actively harvested by the people beneath the tree. The scene is bustling with activity: some individuals are collecting the fallen fruits into large containers placed at the base of the tree, while others are either resting on the tree's sturdy branches or climbing up to reach the higher fruits. This dynamic representation of the harvesting process highlights the communal effort and the deep connection between the Gond people and the Mahua tree.

The Mahua tree holds immense importance for the Gond community, both culturally and economically. The tree's flowers, fruits, seeds, and bark are utilized in various ways. he tree itself is considered sacred and is often featured in Gond folklore and rituals, symbolizing sustenance, prosperity, and the cyclic nature of life. Venkat Shyam's painting beautifully encapsulates this multifaceted relationship. The large containers ready to collect the harvest signify preparation and the anticipation of abundance, reflecting the tree's generosity. The depiction of people in various stages of harvesting—collecting, resting, climbing—illustrates the continuous, year-round interaction with the tree, further emphasizing its central role in daily life.

    Venkat Raman Singh Shyam blue-tick

    Venkat
    Venkat Raman Singh Shyam, a visionary artist from the Gond community, has crafted a unique artistic language that is deeply rooted in his heritage and spirituality. In his art, he finds inspiration in the Bindu, a symbol representing the supreme god, and the half-moon that surrounds it, symbolizing his village and community. These elements form the foundation of his distinctive style, a style that he believes shares common threads with the works of renowned artists like Dali and Picasso. Venkat's artistic journey began at the tender age of ten when he began etching the world around him onto the walls of his home and whatever scraps of newspaper he could find. Born into a Gond Pardhan family in Madhya Pradesh's Sejohra village, he has dedicated the past four decades to the world of art. Under the tutelage of his late uncle, the esteemed Gond artist Jangarh Singh Shyam, Venkat learned to forge his own artistic path. His art beautifully weaves together the rich tapestry of his clan's historical legends with contemporary perspectives of the world. Venkat's work is a testament to the fluidity of tradition and the evolving narratives that connect the past with the present. As he aptly puts it, "Change is the ultimate rule of nature and the universe." While deeply rooted in tradition and mythology, his art constantly adapts to resonate with diverse audiences, bridging the gap between ancient stories and contemporary interpretations.
