About the Artwork +

Rukamani Devi's Sohrai painting is a vibrant and dynamic depiction of two peacocks dancing in the rain, rendered in the distinctive primitive Sohrai style. This traditional art form, originating from the tribal communities of Jharkhand, India, is known for its use of soil and bold patterns, and Devi's work is a testament to this rich cultural heritage. 
The composition is dominated by the two peacocks, whose colorful plumage and graceful forms capture the viewer's attention. Their bodies are adorned with contrasting bold patterns in red, yellow, black, and white, creating a striking contrast against the white background. The use of these colors is significant in Sohrai art, where each hue carries symbolic meaning. At the feet of the peacocks, floral plants emerge from the ground, adding a touch of nature to the scene and grounding the composition. These plants, with their simplified yet elegant form, complement the peacocks' elaborate patterns and add a layer of harmony to the overall design.

Enclosing the entire composition is a repetitive triangular border, a hallmark of Sohrai paintings. This geometric framing not only enhances the visual appeal of the artwork but also serves to focus the viewer's gaze on the central figures. Devi's use of bold lines and simplified forms is characteristic of the Sohrai style, which emphasizes clarity and directness in its visual language. Through her use of bold patterns, vivid colors, and dynamic composition, Devi not only captures the beauty of the peacocks but also conveys the deep cultural significance of Sohrai art.
