Village - Life Style Painting


Village Paintings encompass within themselves not just colors and subjects, but also an overpowering sense of homesickness, longing for a way of life, which is or the majority cases has already rapid disappearing. Colorful images of costumed men and women planting, hoeing, harvesting, watering their crops or possibly heading to the market, projects a rather idyllic delusion of a village life, and yet they direct to make us yearn for something which is/in all probability never there.

Village Painting is not a very easy type to pin down. After all it's a topic which almost every traditions and people has dealt with –whether its the ode on a Grecian pot that Keats so expressively talks about in his poetry or the rural Warli paintings of Maharastrian tribal societies, Village paintings have had different and distant flung practitioners.
