Gond Art Painting | Mythical Essence: Female Spirit in Indigenous Art | Dhavat Singh Uikey (DSU 54)

The Saja tree is a recurring motif in Gond art. Dhavat Singh Uikey chooses it as the central image in this painting. An other-worldly feeling has been introduced here in the monochrome center of the tree with the figure of the female spirit. Myths, anecdotes, stories, folklore and old ancestral tales are the very essence of indigenous art practice where Gods and Goddesses, animals, human and treasure are shown in joyous harmony.
