It sometimes seems almost impossible to work out what’s going on in Gond paintings, in one of these drawings two women seem to be breaking out of eggs inside a bird while paddling with poles that have the eyes of snakes.Lama silhouette Pictures by paunovic 21 / 2,788 Ilama cartoon Stock Photos by Tigatelu 14 / 1,294 Lama guanaka Picture by tana 2 / 1,008 lama Pictures by Mira 5 / 584 Lama Stock Images by Anolis 1 / 11 Lama Stock Photo by helvoirt 1 / 557 lama Stock Photos by Mira 1 / 501 Llama Close Up Pictures by KTallamy 3 / 343 Lama Silhouette Stock Photography by lantapix 1 / 60 lama Stock Images by saruzi 1 / 13 black and white engrave isolated Lama Stock Photography by Typau 3 / 48 Lama guanaka Stock Photo by tana 2 / 260 Woman with A Lama Flock in The Andes Of Peru (near By Arequipa) Stock Photos by chris74 2 / 1,757 Love Lama Illustration Stock Photographs by Favete 1 / 23 Woman with A Lama Flock in The Andes Of Peru (near By Arequipa) Stock Images by chris74 8 / 354 Cute lama alpaca isolated on white background Stock Image by greenpic_studio 1 / 12 Iron eater Stock Photographs by helvoirt 1 / 185 lama Stock Photo by megamatrix 1 / 138 black and white engrave isolated Lama Stock Photographs by Typau 3 / 97 Lama Dance - The Kingdom of Bhutan Stock Photography by Nozyer 10 / 424 Llama portrait Pictures by pyty 2 / 84 lama isolated Stock Photography by mariait 3 / 189 Lama, vintage engraving. The background is usually plain but the physical forms, the people, plants and animals, are filled out with a huge variety of finely drawn textures composed of dots, circles, hatches and lines that bear a resemblance to the Aboriginal art of Australia. There is no perspective in Gond paintings. There is a soft curvaceous style to all the figures as if one form can morph into another at any moment. People can become trees, animals can be half snake-half bird. They contain people, animals and birds, trees and plants and a common element seems to be the interweaving of these elements of life. Their drawings and paintings are mostly concerned with nature and the mythical stories and the spirits of the world that underpin their culture. Over the last 50 years the Gond have taken to using vivid poster paints and some of the artists are now male. Like other Indian tribal artists they now also paint and draw on paper and canvas and their best work has been exhibited in international galleries. Traditionally a mother taught her daughter how to create these paintings and they would have used locally made mineral and plant colours. One of the wonderful aspects of Gond drawings and paintings is that nature seems to be in harmony, plants, trees, birds, insects and even humans appear to easily cohabit the same space. They decorate the walls of their houses with images of the world as they see it, with the belief that a good image produces good fortune. The Gond are a large tribal group mostly located in the central Indian state of Madya Pradesh.
