Keeper of the Harvest by Malo Devi

Sold by

Malo Devi

Description

Keeper of the Harvest by Malo Devi is a 2018 work where Malo Devi reimagines the elephant—a recurring Khovar symbol of endurance and prosperity—with striking simplicity. The “One Ear Elephant” becomes an emblem of wisdom in imperfection, adorned with circular motifs that reference seeds and harvest cycles. The minimal palette of charcoal grey and white heightens its primal energy.

Why This Artwork Stands Out:

  • A bold reinterpretation of the elephant motif with modern restraint.
  • The asymmetry adds personality and emotion to the sacred form.
  • Natural pigments ground the piece in the tactile beauty of folk craft.
  • Perfect for contemporary art lovers seeking the elegance of imperfection.

This work will resonate with collectors who admire raw symbolism, minimalist folk imagery, and timeless cultural iconography

What is the difference between Sohrai and Kohvar paintings?
Sohrai painting is created during the harvest festival, which celebrates the end of the rainy season. Khovar painting is a wedding chamber decoration that marks the marriage season, like Keeper of the Harvest symbolises the interconnected ecosystem much like a family. Sohrai uses multiple colors like red, black, and white to symbolize fertility, ancestors, and food, while Khovar is typically monochrome, using a white and black sgraffito technique to symbolize the womb and fertility for a nuptial chamber.
