Ravi Kumar Tekam-GOND ART-Madhya Pradesh-India-Modern-contemporary-Bird-Aeroplane (RKT 01)

Created by the Gond artist Ravi Kumar Tekam, this work has a lot of interesting details. It is an example of how contemporary motifs have been assimilated into the iconography of Gond art. Here, two kinds of flying have been depicted - natural and man-made. The birds seem to be curious about the big aeroplane, perhaps wondering what kind of a bird it is. Some of the patterns that the artist has included in this work have the appearance of jute, an effect that has been skillfully give shape to an extra ordinary composition.
