Shiva-Parvati with Tribal Devotees and Hunters by Kishor Gayen
Description
In Kishor Gayen’s painting, Shiva and Parvati do not sit apart on a distant mountain. They share the scene with tribal devotees and hunters, and hills rise along the upper band of the paper. Placing gods and forest people in one frame is typical of Paitkar painting, which draws on Hindu myths and local tribal life together. Gayen paints this work in natural colours on handmade paper, so the tones are soft and earthy and the paper’s texture shows through.
