Forest Grace by Anita Devi
Sold by

Description
In this 2014 Khovar painting titled 'Forest Grace', Anita Devi portrays a tender moment between a mother deer and her fawn, surrounded by lush vines and stylized flowers. The composition radiates intimacy and protection, key motifs in Khovar storytelling. The soft pink and orange accents lend warmth to the monochrome foliage, grounding the artwork in both tenderness and tradition.
Why This Artwork Stands Out:
- Expresses nurturing and connection through elegant folk symbolism.
- Rich border detailing adds rhythm and narrative depth.
- Natural pigments and brushwork maintain the authenticity of mural tradition.
- Harmonious balance between structure and emotion.
This painting will appeal to collectors who appreciate nature-inspired works that convey emotion through simplicity and cultural depth.

What is special about Khovar painting?
Khovar Painting is a tribal painting tradition prominent in the villages of Jharkhand’s Hazaribagh district. It is traditionally created to adorn the wedding room of a bride and groom; Khovar itself meaning 'bridal chamber'. The painting is done in monochrome, using a white and black sgraffito technique to symbolize the womb and fertility for a nuptial chamber.
