Surrounded by large rivers and rural fields and forests, animals are often depicted in Warli paintings. Anil Vangad is a master at playing with the traditional forms to produce a natural minimalism. Anil Vangad, 'Kulubi', 34.5" x 28", white colour on dung washed canvas cloth, signed bottom right, 2023 This painting will be sent rolled in a tube. We can help and advise on framing. A Gallery Certificate Comes with the painting. Anil Vangad (Indian, 1983 - ) Anil Vangad is a Contemporary painter from India. He has exhibited widely enjoying major solo shows in Singapore, Hong Kong, Korea, US, UK, France, India and many other Countries. Hailing from the Warli tribes in Maharashtra, India, whilst Anil lives and works in his traditional village, like many tribal artists he is also well-travelled and deftly combines modern life with traditional heritage. He is an experimental artist and embraces new possibilities. In his everyday practise Anil uses traditional techniques and a painting style that goes back as far as the histories of his tribes. Homes in the Warli villages have mud walls and as the traditions in his village are recalled, during special events and festivals the houses are decorated in patterns and images that bring luck and are used as an expression of celebration. In the second part of the 20th century the Waril artists realised there was an interest in their art so they started painting their images and symbols on cloth to sell as a source of income. Anil Vangad’s Warli village is one of many in the state of Maharashtra. He describes his village with passion and pride but like all of us he fears for the future of his family and of the land. The Warli tribes are agricultural groups who rely on crops and fishing. They are flanked by a Mountain range and live with the animals in the forests. In the Mountains near his village are caves with old paintings; the Warli paintings relate to the style of art found in the caves. Images in Anil’s paintings are of the daily Warli life, the tribes tales and narratives. During festivals the people love to dance. A famous Warli dance is performed in a circle and references can be seen to this in many of Anil’s paintings. Pattern is everywhere in the ears of corn in the fields to flocks of birds in the skies. The Warli villagers are always shown in action, as doing. They are cooking, fishing, hunting, tending to animals and so forth. The artist paints using traditional materials. He primes his canvas cloth with cow dung which is lucky. He sometimes uses earth and the colour changes depending on the season and the amount of rain. The white colour is rice paste mixed with neem and is applied with a bamboo stick. At the turn of the 20th century the artists embraced acrylic colours and synthetic materials but like many of us, they now understand the best way to preserve nature and their heritage is by using natural pigments and cloths. Acrylic colours are still used sometimes as they are an easier medium to do fine work with. Anil may have moved back to traditional materials but his paintings are constantly challenging the conventions of traditional Warli imagery. Whilst still retaining the essence of this practice, he offers us beautiful minimal compositions, flat-field perspective and incorporates modernity and technology, mostly as an indication of how life for his village is changing. Like many Indians he is worried how the technological advancements are damaging his way of life and threatening the land that he serves. He brings all of this into his art. He celebrates all that is good and questions that which challenges his Warli tribe. Anil’s work has been exhibited worldwide. He has worked on vast mural projects and also works on small scale paintings. He was taught by his Mother. His work is held in prestigious public and private collections.

  • Animal Painting Large Oil Yellow Cat Black Vase Modern Indian Art
    By R B Bhaskaran
    Located in Norfolk, GB
    Part of the history of Modern Art in India, this striking painting is by noted seminal artist R B Bhaskaran. The artist’s work plays with the genre of abstraction, spanning the period of Modern to the Contemporary in Indian Art. In this recent work, by using the medium of mixed media on paper, Bhaskaran produces a softer, more ethereal feeling and his choice of yellowy orange and form of the cat juxtaposed against the black form of the jar, leads to a strong, playful yet elegant composition. Modern and Contemporary Artwork from India is now International in its collecting base. Leading artist’s such as R B Bhaskaran have always operated on a global platform. Born in 1942 in Madras, India, Bhaskaran was an important part of the exciting explosion of Modern Art which began in India the 1960’s. He worked between India, the US and the UK, practising and learning with some of the best. Provenance: Coming directly from the artist’s studio, we are delighted to be bringing this work to the market for the first time. The painting comes with a Certificate from the Gallery. Condition and framing. The work is titled 'Cat and Black Jar' and was made in 2017. Image size is 36 inches by 48 inches, mixed media on canvas and with the frame the work is is 46 inches by 58 inches, The painting is in good condition. R B Bhaskaran ( 1942 - ) Paintings by leading Indian artist R B Bhaskaran, often large-scale and vibrant, use a stripped-down imagery that celebrates form, colour and ground. Only the best artists make a success from such simplicity. They capture our imagination and draw us into the work. These paintings allow us to explore an intangibility of thoughts, feelings, and fleeting private moments. Bhaskaran’s paintings are great artworks and great art often teaches us something about ourselves. Just like his contemporary, Howard Hodgkin, Bhaskaran’s paintings are distinctive. The brushstrokes and limited palette of strong colours point us straight to the artist and the spontaneity of his forms. Whilst his images may appear to be simple in their choice of objects and shapes they are anything but, which is why they hold our attention and draw us in. Each work, peppered with mark-making, lines, dots, and colour spots, creates paths that expand the narratives the paintings offer. We see plants, trees and animals, pots and vases...
