Event Description : 'Traditional Tribal Art' An exhibition of paintings curated by Priyanka Banerjee.
Curated by Priyanka Banerjee, the show is based on the theme of 'Tribal Art', where she aims to bring before the viewers the dying traditional art of India. In the collection Priyanka has following categories; Madhubani Paintings, Gond Paintings, Patachitra Paintings, Bengal Pat Paintings, Miniature Paintings and Mandala Paintings.
Priyanka Banerjee says, through tribal form of art, I'm trying to connect art lovers and people with one of the pure art forms of our country becoming obsolete in today's fast paced life. The traditional exhibition of paintings showcase events from epics like the Mahabharata and the Ramayana, besides depicting stories of ordinary people in our-day to day lives. The paintings have been done with vegetable dyes-which are available in abundance in nature. They have been done by artists who specialize in the different schools of paintings. The tribal art emphasizes on the interdependence of mankind with nature for each other's sustenance. The different tribal art which has been displayed are madhubani paintings, gond paintings, warli paintings, mandala paintings, miniature paintings, rajasthani phad paintings, bengal pat paintings. Madhubani paintings characterise the folk art of Madhubani, a place in Bihar. Gond paintings reflect the traditional art of Madhya Pradesh. Bengal Pat Paintings showcases the beauty of Bengal tradition, life and culture. Mandala Paintings provides a plethora of details about Lord Buddha's life, while miniature paintings having intricate detailing speak volumes about Mughal and Rajputana art.
About Folk and Tribal Art :
· India had always been known as the land that portrayed cultural and traditional vibrancy through its conventional arts and crafts. The 35 states and union territories sprawled across the country have their own distinct cultural and traditional identities, and are displayed through various forms of art prevalent there. Every region in India has its own style and pattern of art, which is known as folk art. Other than folk art, there is yet another form of traditional art practiced by several tribes or rural population, which is classified as tribal art. The folk and tribal arts of India are very ethnic and simple, and yet colorful and vibrant enough to speak volumes about the country's rich heritage.
· Folk art in India apparently has a great potential in the international market because of its traditional aesthetic sensibility and authenticity. The rural folk paintings of India bear distinctive colorful designs, which are treated with religious and mystical motifs. Some of the most famous folk paintings of India are the Madhubani paintings of Bihar, Patachitra paintings from the state of Odisha, the Nirmal paintings of Andhra Pradesh, and other such folk art forms. Folk art is however not restricted only to paintings, but also stretches to other art forms such as pottery, home decorations, ornaments, cloths-making, and so on. In fact, the potteries of some of the regions of India are quite popular among foreign tourists because of their ethnic and traditional beauty.
· Moreover, the regional dances of India, such as the Bhangra dance of Punjab, the Dandiya of Gujarat, the Bihu dance of Assam, etc, which project the cultural heritage of those regions, are prominent contenders in the field of Indian folk art. These folk dances are performed by people to express their exhilaration on every possible event or occasion, such as the arrival of seasons, the birth of a child, weddings, festivals, etc. The government of India, as well as other societies and associations, have therefore made all efforts to promote such art forms, which have become an intrinsic part of India's cultural identity.
· Tribal art, like folk art, has also progressed considerably due to the constant developmental efforts of the Indian government and other organizations. Tribal art generally reflects the creative energy found in rural areas that acts as an undercurrent to the craftsmanship of the tribal people. Tribal art ranges through a wide range of art forms, such as wall paintings, tribal dances, tribal music, and so on.
