Beschreibung
Signature is a collection of paintings from a range of artists belonging to the Gond tribal community in central India -- from well known ones like Bhajju Shyam and Durga Bai, to emerging teenage talents. Their art is dense yet intricate, rich with meaning. Characteristic of Gond art are the teeming decorative patterns that fill the surface of images. The singular, most striking thing about these patterns is the fact that each artist has invented his or her own distinct design, with particular meanings. This is their mark or 'signature'.
Signature takes a lens to these amazing patterns, and by focusing on them, offers the viewer not only a feast of abstraction, but also an entirely unique introduction to Gond art.

Bhajju Shyam
Bhajju Shyam belongs to the Gond tribe of artists—a community of highly visual story-tellers—from Madhya Pradesh in India. His captivating art keeps the symbolic density of the Gond style, bringing to it the intelligence and clarity of his own vision. The versatile artist has received international acclaim since his runaway success in 2003 with The London Jungle Book.
