About Gond Painting
 
While for some, Gond Painting is an art form, for others it is a way of living the village life with contentment and satisfaction in all that they have been bestowed with. Practiced by the Gond tribes of Madhya Pradesh, the Gond painting is one of the oldest forms of wall painting art. It was first found in the caves of Bhimbetka, Madhya Pradesh, one of the World Heritage Sites as declared by the UNESCO. Overtime, the clan widespread across several Indian states including Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh.
 
The common themes of Gond painting may range from religious festivities, activities and hobbies to marriages and supernatural entities as well. However, the main idea of the Gond painting is to symbolize the deities of the tribes in the form of trees and animals.
 
Just like other types of tribal painting, Gond portraits too make use of naturally found colours. In order to provide a rustic touch to the paintings, non-synthetic materials such as wooden coal, Chui soil, geru, sem leaves, sap of the tinsak plants and red soil is used. Soil is the main ingredient and freely available in the localities of the artists.
 
Though the painting looks easy to draw and simple to further decorate with patterns, Gond Painting has its own limitations and cannot be practiced properly unless an expert executes it.
