Vertical Painting of a River & Dancers
Regular price
£95.00
A Warli painting in two parts: the upper part is filled with dancers while below a river flows through fields into rounded hills.
In the top half of this tall narrow Warli painting are long curved lines of dancers along with drummers and players of the tarpa, the traditional sacred instrument of the Warli, a wind instrument with a large gourd resonator.
The lower half of the painting has scenes of a river flowing alongside a field lush with crops and a village hut, more dancers and another section of people working in the fields. The sun is shining, birds are flying among the trees and the river is full of fish.
White rice paste paint on a terracotta earth background on calico cloth.
Portrait format. Canvas dimensions: W82 H44cm
