Authentic Handmade Gond Painting – Tribal Figure, Water Source & Tree (11×15 inches) – Without Frame

Original Handmade Gond Art: ‘Figure by the Water Source’ (11×15″)
Connect with the vital elements of life in the forest with this striking, authentic handmade Gond painting. Measuring 11 x 15 inches, this artwork features a tribal figure standing by a water source (a well or cistern) beneath a large, life-giving tree. The presence of birds nestled in the tree emphasizes the harmony and dependency between the Gond community and the natural world, a core theme in their artistic tradition.
Artistic Style and Cultural Detail
This piece is a beautiful example of the Gond painting style. The main figure, the tree, and the water source are intricately detailed with the signature rhythmic lines, dots, and patterns (bhittichitra). These distinctive fills imbue the subjects with spiritual energy and are characteristic of this Indian folk art. The vibrant green of the tree, contrasting with the dark blue of the figure, creates a visually appealing and balanced composition that reflects the traditional Gond aesthetic from Madhya Pradesh.
The History and Heritage of Gond Art
Gond painting is the celebrated art form of the Gond tribe, Central India’s largest indigenous group. This artistic tradition is an ancient and profound method of preserving ancestral myths, daily life scenes, and their deep philosophical connection to the environment (Jal, Jangal, Zameen – Water, Forest, Land). While historically painted on the mud walls of homes, the art form has flourished on paper and canvas, thanks to contemporary masters, achieving global recognition as a significant form of Indian tribal art. By acquiring this genuine, handmade piece, you are directly supporting the continuation of this rich ancient Indian tradition and its talented Gond artists.
