The Quiet Grazer
Sold by
Philomina Tirkey
Description
The Quiet Grazer by Philomina Tirkey is a minimalist Sohrai piece, in which a lone horned animal stands surrounded by tall grasses. The use of black on a neutral field gives it a sculptural stillness, allowing the form to emerge in pure simplicity. The gentle curves and symmetrical stance show Tirkey’s skill in balancing restraint and grace. This is a work that speaks softly, about patience, survival, and coexistence with nature.
Why This Artwork Stands Out:
- Exemplifies the understated elegance of Sohrai painting.
- Natural colours and smooth brushwork evoke an organic calm.
- Perfect for interiors seeking quiet strength and rural authenticity.
- A piece that invites reflection rather than spectacle.
It’s a moment of stillness from the world of nature, rendered with honesty and care.

What is Sohrai painting?
Sohrai is a famous festival in Jharkhand, when the Sohrai artform flourishes. The harvest festival celebrates the end of monsoon, with paintings by women with multiple colours like red, black and white. It is a traditional practice, continuing from hundreds of years ago, even today, to celebrate harvest, soil fertility and food.
