Write-up about Gond Art:
Originally adorning mud homes as a symbol of good fortune, Gond art owes its origins to the folklore of the Gond tribe. Now, globally recognized in its modern vibrant version on canvas and paper, it is no longer appreciated for just it's tribal heritage but is well respected as a characteristic modern art form. Subject matter includes myths, folklores, abstract concepts like emotions and dreams, and images of daily life. Gond artists use lines, dots and dashes in a way that they convey a sense of movement to the still images. Colours are vivid, reflecting the beauty of nature. According to their belief system, everything, be it hill, river, rock or tree, is inhabited by a spirit and is sacred. Gond paintings are a form of respect and a reflection of man’s close connection with nature.
