Masters provide glimpse into vibrant Indian folk art canvas
1 2 3 Slug: SCZCC Summer Workshop Nagpur: The South Central Zone Cultural Centre (SCZCC), Nagpur, is currently hosting a summer workshop, a six-day immersion into the heart of India's traditional art forms. The workshop draws participants eager to learn from masters of Warli, Gond, Mandana, and Cheriyal art. Participants have a special fascination with the session on Telangana's unique Cheriyal mask-making, led by the esteemed artists Nagila Ganesh and his wife, Vanaja. The Cheriyal art form — with origins in a village about 100km from Hyderabad — is Nagila's family tradition. Both Nagila and Vanaja are devoted practitioners of this centuries-old art. Cheriyal painting and mask-making traditionally served as storytelling aids, deeply rooted in local theatre. Participants in the workshop were keenly observing the intricate process of crafting the Cheriyal masks. "These masks, often depicting characters like Lord Ram, goddess Sita, Raavan, Lord Krishna, and Arjun from epics like Ramayana and Mahabharata, come alive under the skilled hands of Nagila and Vanaja," said a participant. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Encontre voos low-cost Voos | Anúncios de Pesquisa Saiba Mais Undo In the afternoon session, participants thronged the Gond painting workshop led by Shraman Kumar Shyam. A self-taught Gond artist, Shyam's artistic journey began in the rugged landscapes of Madhya Pradesh. As a child, he learned to paint on walls using mud and other natural materials readily available in his surroundings. His work is characterised by an intriguing blend of tribal and modern symbols, brought to life through detailed brush and pen drawings and paintings. His canvases often feature tribal deities, birds, and landscapes. For many in his community, this art form is also a significant source of livelihood. His distinctive world of icons, birds, animals, and trees, rendered in repetitive, colourful patterns, has been exhibited both in India and internationally, earning him critical acclaim and awards. Simultaneously, the workshop also features the delicate art of Mandana painting taught by Krishna Verma, who is dedicated to preserving the folk traditions of Malwa. Participants also have the opportunity to learn the intricate Warli painting from Maharashtra under Subhash Sutar from Palghar, who is young and popular in Maharashtra.
