Collector Wall Wall Art

Collector Wall — 26 museum-grade prints sized and toned for the room. 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 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. Mata ni Pachedi means 'the cloth of the Mother Goddess' — a ritual shrine textile of the Vaghri / Devipujak ('worshippers of the Goddess') community of Ahmedabad, Gujarat. Historically barred from entering temples, the community painted the Goddess onto cotton and carried their own portable shrine, so the cloth itself becomes the sacred space where the Mother is invoked.
