An exhibition in Pune brings folk art from across India on one platform
From Rajasthan comes the Pichwai, a form of fabric painting that was used to decorate the temple walls behind the idol of Shrinathji. The word Pichwai is derived from the Sanskrit words ‘pich‘ (back) and ‘wais‘ (hanging). Madhubani paintings, on the other hand, depict nature and religious motifs. No space is left empty and all gaps are filled with flowers, animals, birds and geometric patterns. The paint is drawn from the extracts of flowers and plants. The Gond tribe, originally from Madhya Pradesh, created a style of painting to decorate their homes and floors with motifs to attract good luck. Gond art has since moved on to paper and canvas and artists have their signature styles. Now, an exhibition in Pune, titled Traditional & Folk Art, brings together a number of diverse folk forms of India. It will be held at Conrad Pune on May 11, 12.00 pm to 7.00 pm. It is being organised by Secure Giving.
