Deep Indigo Wall Art

Deep Indigo — 11 museum-grade prints in this palette. Mumbai's Art Deco heritage — especially along Marine Drive and the Oval Maidan precinct — ranks among the world's largest collections of interwar deco architecture outside Miami Beach. The style arrived with Bombay's commercial boom of the 1930s and still defines the city's silhouette against the Arabian Sea, a counterpoint to Victorian Gothic and the glass towers of today's Bandra-Kurla skyline. Gond painting comes from the Gond Adivasi communities of central India, with its best-known school formed by the Pradhan Gond of Patangarh and the wider Dindori region of Madhya Pradesh. The contemporary form is largely the legacy of Jangarh Singh Shyam (1962–2001), whose distinctive line-and-in-fill manner — every form bounded by a bold outline, then filled with rows of dots, dashes, commas and scales — became known as Jangarh Kalam and was carried on by his family and students. Madhubani painting — also called Mithila or bhitti chitra — developed among Maithil women who originally rendered ritual imagery on freshly plastered mud walls in the Mithila region of Bihar and adjoining Nepal. The banyan (Ficus benghalensis, vata vriksha) appears in folk panels as a village shade tree and as a tree-of-life analogue related to kalpavriksha iconography in kohbar wedding-chamber schemes, where lotus ponds, bamboo, fish, and paired birds surround auspicious union symbols.
