BORDERS OF INDIAN FOLK ART

Image
Today, while  I was just browsing images of various Indian folk art paintings ,one thing pop up in my mind that as a viewer we always focus on the main subject of a folk art.But other than the main subject ,painting also has another part i.e. it’s border. Border of an Indian Folk art painting is also as beautiful as the subject of painting.Moreover, it gives a complete look to it.Diversity also flows in the patterns of border of all folk paintings . Here I have done a rough sketch in order  to show the difference between all Indian Folk art,through its  borders.

JAGANNATH

Image
12" x 12" art on canvas in acrylic & pen Description : The word JAGANNATH literally means “ Lord of the Universe” & is a deity worshiped in regional traditions of Hinduism in India. He is an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. His main temple named as JAGANNATH DHAM is located at holy city Puri (an age-old city in State of Odisha), in India. Every day many pilgrims visit this temple just to see one glance of Lord Jagannath's sacred idol made of sandalwood. If anybody visits Lord Jagannath's temple, one will see mural art on every wall & pillar. When artisans started doing this mural art on “patta” means canvas, then it became PATTACHITRA . So this way famous traditional art of Odisha i.e. Pattachitra evolved. This art form is known for its intricate details as well as mythological narratives and folktales inscribed in it. My painting is also a Pattachitra art, which depicts the holy face of Lord JAGANNATH.

I have been doing painting since childhood.But I started applying these folk art patterns  into my paintings very recently & which gave a new look to my art.These folk paintings are amazing .They don’t follow the grammar of fine art because folk artists are not trained in fine art.They follow their own style & create incredible paintings .They develop their style from their day to day life . Now let’s examine the patterns more precisely. The magic of gond art lies in beautiful patterns created with dots & lines.      In folk art , tails of fishes are also designed with intricate patterns. Hence ,this is my another trial to enhance the rich culture o...
