Suresh Kumar Dhurve-GOND ART-Madhya Pradesh-India-Cosmic-HARMONY-HOMAGE-fish-aquatic (SKD 252)

One of the distinctive Gond elements is the use of signature patterns that are used to infill the images on the canvas. A certain sense of balance and symmetry can be observed in the pattern used, such as spiral forms along with mystic figure. Painted in several bright colors, the placement of motifs showcasing the figure with fish getting pulled by several strings, these strings seem to be like togues trying to pull the fish or gobble it straight away. Rituals and nature depict the Gonds inherited skills and creativity. In the eyes of a Gond artist, everything is sacred and intimately connected to nature.
