The Painting

Two vividly patterned birds perch face to face on the branches of a beautifully detailed ink-drawn tree, their beaks nearly touching in what feels like a tender conversation. Adorned in deep maroon, sky blue, and golden dot trails, they stand out brilliantly against the delicate monochrome foliage surrounding them. A warm and intimate moment of connection, captured with grace and precision in the storytelling tradition of Gond art.

The Artform

The Gond art originating in Madhya Pradesh derives its name from the Dravidian word kond which means ‘green mountain’. Over the years the Gond artists have developed a bold visual vocabulary that uses naturally occurring pigment colors such as black, deep red, white, and ochre. The geometric patterns involving dots are used to create an intricate image of animals and the natural environment with an infusion of a distinct style of each practicing Gond artist. The history of the Gond tribe goes back 1400 years ago, with it comes a heritage of Gond Pradhans, who were musicians and storytellers within the tribe, and the primarily practiced Gond art which has transcended from being painted on mud walls to canvas and papers. It is also popular in regions like Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, and Odisha.

Provenance

The painting has been created by Bridge Bharat’s master artist partners.
