Material: Acrylic on canvasSize: 28 x 36 InchesThe Gonds are one of the largest tribal communities distributed across six states in central India. They decorated their houses with traditional patterns and bhittichitra (a composition of animals and plants) during festive occasions. Body tattooing or gudna was yet another form of their creative expression in this tribe. Gond art is not merely decoration, but the living expressions of a people harmoniously linked with their day to day lives.About Venkat Raman Singh ShyamVenkat's art is entirely free of academism yet surprisingly mature and assured. Born in 1970, Madhya Pradesh, he uses bold colours in his works to accentuate the impression of life, energy, freedom and uninhibitedness. His subjects are all totemic, characterized by one of the distinctive features of tribal art - shamanism and its host of spirits.Please Note: This painting comes without a frame.
