About
A distinctive dot-and-line tribal art form of the Gond community, traditionally used to decorate homes and depict folklore, nature and deities, characterized by intricate patterned fill-work within outlined figures rather than flat colour.
Did you know? Gond art gained international recognition largely through the self-taught artist Jangarh Singh Shyam, whose unique style in the 1980s effectively created a distinct contemporary art movement now referred to as "Jangarh Kalam" within the broader Gond tradition.
