📜 Gond Art History: From Ancestral Stories to Modern Canvas
The term ‘Gond’ comes from the Dravidian word ‘Kond,’ meaning ‘green mountain.’ Historically, the Pardhan Gonds were the storytellers and musicians of the community. They held a strong belief that “viewing a good image begets good luck,” and for centuries, they adorned the mud walls and floors of their homes with intricate geometric patterns (Digna) and images of flora, fauna, and deities (Bhittichitra) using natural pigments.
Modern Gond art, on paper and canvas, gained prominence in the 1980s, largely due to the pioneering work of artist Jangarh Singh Shyam. Today, this indigenous tribal art is celebrated worldwide for its narrative power, unique dot-and-line style, and brilliant color palette, ensuring the legacy of their myths and culture continues to thrive.
