Tree Series 109 Pattachitra Painting on Cloth

This arresting original painting, 'Tree Series 109', hails from the renowned Pattachitra tradition of Orissa. The tree, a perennial motif in Indian art, here symbolises profound life, growth, and the generative force of nature. Rendered with characteristic Pattachitra precision, the artwork features bold outlines and a vibrant palette, celebrating the tree not merely as a botanical subject but as an embodiment of cosmic vitality, deeply rooted in the philosophical landscape of the subcontinent.

Created by artist Rabi Behera from Puri, a vibrant hub for this art form, this piece exemplifies the exquisite craft of paata painting. The term 'paata' refers to the prepared cloth canvas, meticulously treated to achieve its smooth, yet resilient surface. The visible technique reveals the artist's masterful control over line and colour, employing age-old methods to mix and apply natural pigments, resulting in the distinct clarity and depth of a truly handcrafted work.

This is a singular, one-of-a-kind original painting, distinguished from any mass-produced print. It ships directly to you with a signed Certificate of Authenticity, guaranteeing its provenance and artistic merit.
