$40
Includes any tariffs and taxes
Only 1 available

Pravin Mhase is a known artist of Warli. He was born into the famous Mhase family known for revving the Warli art.  This Painting of River Flowing in the Village is a traditional Warli art made traditionally with Cow Dung and Acrylic on Manjarpat Cloth. Manjarpat is a low-quality, muslin-like cloth. It has limited absorbency and shrinks after washing. It is believed to be the best cloth for absorbing cod dung and making the canvas. The painting is highly traditional and holds a community emotion into it.

 

The dark green base showcases the rural life and the daily activities of people residing in the area with the help of motifs made of white acrylic paint. The river meanders through the village, depicted with earthy tones and organic textures. The use of cow dung adds a cultural richness while acrylic enhances vibrancy. Mhase's composition becomes a testament to the symbiotic relationship between nature and rural life, celebrating the artist's ingenuity in merging unconventional materials with a timeless portrayal of scenic serenity and traditional ethos.

Immerse yourself in the tranquil rhythm of village life, captured through a unique artistic lens. This evocative artwork invites you to witness the simple yet profound beauty of a community intertwined with nature. You'll appreciate the delicate dance between human existence and the flowing lifeblood of the land.

The Art of Authentic Expression

Crafted with an intimate understanding of tradition, this piece showcases the meticulous artistry of Pravin Mhase. He employs the time-honored technique of using cow dung as a base, imbuing the canvas with an earthy authenticity rarely seen today. This foundation is then enhanced with the vibrant, yet controlled, strokes of acrylic, creating a striking contrast that speaks volumes. Each element is thoughtfully applied to the natural texture of Manjarpat cloth, a testament to the artist's commitment to his craft and materials.

Visual Harmony and Intricate Detail

The artwork presents a mesmerizing scene, rendered in a refined palette of earthy browns and stark whites. Observe the sinuous flow of the river, a central motif that dictates the composition's dynamic energy and guides your eye across the 7.00-inch high by 11.00-inch wide surface. Notice the crisp, white depictions of flora, fauna, and human figures, each rendered with an appealing simplicity that belies their expressive power. The artist’s use of linework creates a sense of movement and depth, transforming a static image into a vibrant narrative.

Echoes of a Bygone Era

This style of art draws inspiration from indigenous folk art traditions, particularly those that depict daily life and the natural world. It evokes a sense of primal connection to the land, reminiscent of ancient cave paintings that documented the human experience. By choosing this piece, you are not merely acquiring an artwork, but embracing a narrative that celebrates heritage and the enduring spirit of rural communities.

Enriching Your Living Space

Imagine this captivating creation adorning your living room, study, or a quiet alcove, offering a constant source of contemplation and beauty. Its compact size makes it incredibly versatile, allowing it to be placed above a mantlepiece, alongside a bookshelf, or as a focal point on a gallery wall. It serves as a perfect conversation starter, inviting guests to explore its rich details and the stories it subtly tells.

Preserving Enduring Value

To ensure the longevity of this unique piece, we recommend keeping it away from direct sunlight and excessive humidity. A gentle dusting with a soft, dry cloth is all that is needed for regular maintenance. This careful approach will preserve the integrity of the cow dung and acrylic medium, allowing you to cherish this artisanal treasure for years to come, its artistic merit and cultural significance only growing with time.
