Collection: Gond Art Collection

The Dravidian word "Kond," which means "Green Mountain," is the source of the term "Gond." The Gond tribe in central India is known for their popular folk art known as "Gond painting." Man's intimate relationship with his natural surroundings is reflected in the Gond paintings. Despite being largely associated with Madhya Pradesh, this art form is also well-known in places like Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, and Odisha. The artwork combines humor, mystery, pattern, and a variety of colors to reflect the modern mentality.
