We aren’t just selling art- we’re selling a story. Each piece of artwork has a story that will always interest collectors. It isn’t always a long story or outrageous story but it is always interesting to our collectors.
Sculptures
Sculpture is an artistic form in which hard or plastic materials are worked into three-dimensional art objects. An enormous variety of media may be used, including clay, wax, stone, metal, fabric, glass, wood, plaster and rubber. Materials may be carved, modeled, molded, cast, wrought, welded, sewn, assembled, or otherwise shaped and combined.
The beginning of modernism in Indian sculpture can be traced to its adaptation of western academic art traditions in the early 20th century. Sculptors who trained in the academic realist style at British art schools worked on secular subjects in a departure from ancient and medieval Indian norms, where myths and deities formed the major theme.
Photographs
Photography is the art that creates durable images by recording light, either electronically by means of an image sensor.
- Traditional Art -
Pichwais
Traditional Pichwai art form a vivid description of lord Krishna’s life. Pichwai paintings are used as a backdrop in Shreenathji temples and are changed everyday according to the occasion, season, time and mood of the lord.
Most Pichwai artists are from Nathdwara. They created paintings on life and deeds of Shreenathji. From the olden days mayof the artist families continued the tradition of creating Pichwai but today very few of these original families are engaged in this art form.
Each Pichwai painting denotes “Seva” and “Worship”. Usually the themes revolve around festivals like Holi, Janmasthmi,Annakot or Govardhan, Raas Leela, Ram Navmi Basant Panchmi etctemples and are changed everyday according to the occasion, season, time and mood of the lord.
Tanjores
Tanjore painting is a classical South Indian painting style, which was inaugurated from the town of Thanjavur (anglicized as Tanjore).
Tanjore paintings are characterised by rich and vivid colors, simple iconic composition, glittering gold foils overlaid on delicate but extensive gesso work and inlay of glass beads and pieces or very rarely precious and semi-precious gems.
In Thanjavur paintings one can see the influence of Deccani, Vijayanagar, Maratha and even European or Company styles of painting.
Gonds & Phads
Gond paintings are done by the ‘Gond tribe’ from Madhya Pradesh.
They use dots and small lines to fill the space intricately, which gives these still images a sense of movement. As they live in jungles, the subjects of painting are animals, trees, their gods etc.
Mostly, the stories of the folk deity Pabuji and the Gurjar Warrior, Devnarayanji are depicted on Phads. In ancient times, the storytellers would travel from village to village and narrate the stories using Phads as their pictorial depiction tool. Phad paintings are very detailed. Every inch of the canvas is used. Since the ancient stories are depicted in the paintings, Phads have a lot of human figures in them. The colours used in Phad are all-natural, obtained from various plants and vegetable extracts.
