Festive Music and Group Dance by Kishor Gayen

Description

Drums lead the celebration in Kishor Gayen’s Festive Music and Group Dance. Musicians play the tumdak, a barrel drum, and the tamak, a large kettle drum. These two drums set the beat for Santhal festivals, and the dancers follow in a line across the paper. Gayen repeats their poses so the figures seem to step in time with the music. The painting suggests sound as much as movement, which is hard to do in a still image. Natural colours on handmade paper give the scene a soft, earthy finish.

Why does this painting stand out?

• Hand-painted by Kishor Gayen in natural colours on handmade paper.

• The tumdak and tamak drums appear with the dancers, so the music is part of the scene.

• At 22 x 14 inches, it suits music rooms, living areas and studios.

• A lively gift for music lovers and collectors of folk art. Bring the beat of a Santhal festival home today.
