Original artwork by Dinesh Shyam, a Gond artist living in Madhya Pradesh, central India. Using vibrant colors and traditional techniques, he powerfully depicts a fantastical world where animals and plants merge. Purchased in 2019 at the Craft Museum in New Delhi. As it was painted in a temporary outdoor exhibition space, there may be some minor soiling, but please understand this as part of the unique charm of a one-of-a-kind piece that embodies the local atmosphere. Size: 25.5 x 36.0 cm This is a rare original artwork that allows you to fully appreciate the appeal of Gond art. Please consider incorporating this one-of-a-kind original artwork into your life. Additional Notes: As someone who loves to travel, I am drawn to art that evokes the scent of a place. My love for ethnic music stems from the same feeling. It's like traveling to that place. Nowadays, you can access artwork from all over the world with just a smartphone, without even having to go there. The artists themselves are in the same situation. While it's convenient to have access to so much information, original works are also influenced. It's like someone from a family that has been involved in traditional music for generations being influenced by Western music through school education. Also, by painting commercially, they are influenced by the sellers, and the work changes, both for better and for worse, from the works that were created in that place and for that place. This work may seem childish at first glance, but it has a purity that feels like the scent of the place, befitting tribal art. #GondArt #TaraBooks #EthnicPainting #TribalArt #tribalart #Animism #FusionOfAnimalsAndPlants #RusticBeauty
