Gond paintings, originating from the Gond tribe of central India, are renowned for their vibrant colors and intricate patterns. These artworks typically depict nature, animals, folklore, and daily life, reflecting the tribe’s deep connection to their environment. Gond artists use natural materials like soil, charcoal, cow dung, and plant sap to create their vivid hues. The paintings are characterized by detailed line work and a unique dotting technique that adds texture and movement.

Traditionally, these were done on walls and floors of homes, but now they are also made on canvas and paper for wider appeal. The Gonds believe that viewing these paintings brings good fortune. This art form is passed down through generations, preserving its authenticity and traditional methods. Gond paintings not only highlight the rich cultural heritage of the Gond tribe but also serve as a vital source of livelihood for the community.

The tribal artists exhibiting with us are from the Dindori district, Madhya Pradesh.
