Tree Series 210 Pattachitra Painting on Cloth

This captivating traditional Indian painting, 'Tree Series 210', presents a stylized depiction of a tree, rendered with the distinctive visual language of Odisha's art traditions. The tree, a universal symbol of life, growth, and the interconnectedness of nature, is brought to life through vibrant colours and bold, graphic forms. Its elegant structure fills the vertical canvas, inviting contemplation of its timeless significance, a common motif transcending its natural form to embody deeper spiritual or ecological resonance in Indian folk art.

Crafted by Rabi Behera from Puri, this painting exemplifies the renowned Paata tradition of Odisha. The medium is a traditionally prepared cloth canvas, known as paata, primed with natural chalk and tamarind gum to create a smooth, durable surface. Behera employs a palette of rich, natural pigments derived from minerals, plants, and shells, meticulously applied with fine brushes. The visible hand technique showcases characteristic bold outlines, intricate patterns, and a flat, unshaded perspective, all hallmarks of this ancient storytelling art form.

This 'Tree Series 210' is a one of a kind original painting, not a print, ensuring its unique artistry and intrinsic value. It ships with a signed Certificate of Authenticity, guaranteeing its provenance and the artist's direct involvement in its creation.
