The Playful Canopy

The Playful Canopy captures a joyous scene of monkeys swinging among blooming branches. Through her distinct Sohrai style, Putli Ganju celebrates movement, curiosity and the spirit of life that thrives in nature.

Rendered in warm earthy tones, the composition balances rhythm and form, transforming simple lines into a narrative of connection and vitality. The monkeys appear to dance across the page, surrounded by floral motifs that echo the fertility and abundance of the forest. This painting invites the viewer to explore the balance between instinct and harmony within the natural world.

Why This Artwork Stands Out:

• Created with natural pigments on handmade paper using traditional Sohrai technique
• Captures the energy and playfulness of wildlife within nature’s embrace
• Rich with symbolic forms representing joy, fertility and coexistence
• A vivid representation of tribal storytelling through line, colour and rhythm
