The Bhopalites witnessed the beautiful culture of tribals through a painting exhibition being put up at Modern Art Gallery, Bharat Bhavan.
There was a tremendously wonderful combination of years’ old tradition carved in new form over canvas.Notably, an art workshop was also organised for the tribal artists where they created these paintings.
All the paintings have distinctive features portraying the scenes, birds, animals and human faces on dark and vibrant colours. The paintings have brown or black base. The fine lines and geometrical figures painted in red, blue and white acrylic and oil colours make them look more appealing to the eyes. The vibrant colours in the paintings clearly define the richness and elegancy of the tribal culture.
The spectators could witness the traditional folk-art of different tribes under one roof. The exhibition is like a treat for the artistes as well as the art lovers. They are really mesmerised by the art forms being displayed there.
As many as 12 tribal folk artists have displayed their creations before the Bhopalites. All the painting being put up by the professional tribal artists showcases the creativity of their fantastically. One of the paintings is all about a hunting scenes in the forest where the tribal men are riding the elephants to hunt the animals and save themselves from the attacks.
Where one painting states about the richness of the culture, one defines about the years old traditions and customs being practiced in their community. According to the artists, this is one of the best ways to describe about their traditions and cultures and aware the masses about it. The exhibition will be on view till the end of this month.
