Roots and Currents by Dulari Ekka

Sold by

Dulari Ekka

Description

"Roots and Currents painted in 2001 by Dulari Ekka is a rare Sohrai abstract composition which captures motion and entanglement through swirling, organic forms. Dulari Ekka moves beyond representation, using earthy tones of ochre, brown, and soft pink to express the interdependence of life forces. The fluid shapes appear to pulse with quiet energy, echoing the earth’s rhythm that underlies Sohrai tradition.

Why This Artwork Stands Out:

  • A unique abstract take within the Sohrai visual language.
  • Highlights rhythm and flow through organic, intertwined forms.
  • Uses natural pigments to achieve depth and movement.
  • An evocative study of life’s unseen forces.

Dulari Ekka departs from figuration to experiment with abstraction grounded in Sohrai aesthetics. The interlocking geometric and organic forms evoke the cyclical rhythms of nature. Her work demonstrates how indigenous visual systems can generate modern abstract expression while remaining rooted in ritual sensibility."

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 Roots and Currents 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.
