Description

This arresting Pattachitra painting from Puri, titled 'Tree Series 243,' presents a majestic tree, a universal emblem of life, growth, and the enduring connection between earth and sky. Rendered with the characteristic precision and vibrant, flattened perspective of Odisha's iconic art form, the artwork captures the tree's intricate branching and verdant foliage, inviting contemplation on nature's profound symbolism and its place in traditional Indian visual narratives.

Created by Rabi Behera, an esteemed artist from Puri, this piece exemplifies the exquisite craftsmanship of Pattachitra. It is meticulously hand-painted on traditional 'paata,' a prepared cloth canvas made by layering fabric with a mixture of tamarind paste and chalk, then polished to a leathery finish. The artist employs fine squirrel hair brushes, creating crisp outlines and filling forms with rich, jewel-toned colours traditionally derived from natural pigments, showcasing a visible technique honed through generations.

This 'Tree Series 243' is presented as a one-of-a-kind original artwork, not a reproduction or print. It ships directly from our gallery with a signed Certificate of Authenticity from the artist, guaranteeing its provenance and originality. We are pleased to offer complimentary insured delivery across India for this unique acquisition.
