Tree of Life- Framed Tribal Wall Art and Living Room Wall Decor with Unbreakable Acrylic Glass By Indigenous Tribes from the Mountains and Coastal Areas of Western India (Warli Painting)

Description

Warli painting is a tribal art mostly done by tribes from North Sahyadri Range in Western India.The Warli art form is similar to the pre-historic cave paintings in its execution. These extremely rudimentary paintings use a very basic graphic vocabulary: a circle, a triangle and a square. The circle and triangle come from their observation of nature, the circle representing the sun and the moon, the triangle derived from mountains and pointed trees. Only the square seems to obey a different logic and seems to be a human invention, indicating a sacred enclosure or a piece of land. Warli Paintings are painted on an austere mud base using one color, white, with occasional dots in red and yellow. This sobriety is offset by the ebullience of their content. The themes in Warli paintings are highly repetitive and symbolic. Each painting is usually an entire scene that contains various elements of nature including people, animals, trees, hills etc. The thread that binds all these loose elements can be events like a marriage, a dance, sowing, harvesting or hunting. Different varieties of trees are drawn in detail forming intricate decorative patterns. Birds, squirrels, monkeys, snakes and other animals are also depicted, frequently in action. Other elements in nature like streams and rocks are also featured. The 'Tree of Life' and the 'Tarpa' dance are significant images often seen in Warli art.
