Warli art, born in the 10th century, was practiced by the warli tribes of Maharashtra. India is a vibrant society where colour, noise, dance, and patterns are primary. Decorating homes is not the latest process of the Homo Sapiens, but also our long-forgotten sibling species, homo neanderthals. Drawings and paintings have been imbued with the culture right from the times of neanderthals. Early, humans used drawings to record history and decorate homes. Their penchant for expressing art later developed into different folk art forms with time and refinement.
By the early twentieth century, urban representation fractured dramatically. With Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, the city was broken into planes, angles, and intersecting geometries. Today, abstract cityscapes stand at a compelling intersection of history and immediacy.
There is no place in India that epitomises tragedy better than Awadh. On the map it is a largish region roughly the size of Portugal that contains Lucknow and Ayodhya. Many wouldn’t know this but the name ‘Awadh’ or ‘Oudh’ as the British referred to it is a corruption of Ayodhya which on its own means ‘not to be messed with’.
There is mature essence to the way the color ‘brown’ catches the eye, as it’s splattered all over one’s environment. For me, it resonates with the color of the Earth, hard work and labour and artists and photographers alike would agree on how audacious the color seems on the canvas or in print. A lot can be said about any color but something about brown seems as if it’s doused in antiquity, it’s been through a lot of shaping and reshaping and rugged scrutiny and criticism. From the bark of a tree to the deeper layers of the Earth, the ethereal presence of this color remains, like a silent observer, a flaneur of sorts.
