About Artform:
Gond art originated as wall paintings by Pardhan Gonds, the indigenous people living in Central India. Their occupation was to sing invocations to the divine beings in nature, and as storytellers educate the younger generation about their mythology and culture. Gond artists allow themselves the freedom to depict anything their fertile imagination creates. Pop and modern while being a tribal art, Gond art has been introduced in many museums around the world in the recent years.
