Unititled Saura Painting

This Saura painting is set inside a framed border, and within it stick-thin figures, animals and forms are drawn in fine white line. The figures are built from simple triangles and strokes. Saura paintings, called idital, are painted on the walls of Saura homes in Odisha, and this work carries that language onto silk cloth. Painting in acrylic on silk gives the surface a soft sheen and lets the fine lines stay crisp. The tall format, 41 by 21 inches, gives the figures room and lets the composition be read from top to bottom.
