The Sun-Face Tree

Sold by

Ram Singh Urveti

Ram Singh Urveti is a celebrated Gond artist from Madhya Pradesh and one of the most prominent figures of the Jangarh Kalam school, founded by the legendary Jangarh Singh Shyam. Trained within this lineage, Ram Singh developed a distinctive style that blends traditional Gond motifs with modern compositions. His works often depict the interconnectedness of life forms—trees, birds, fish, animals—arranged in intricate patterns filled with fine detailing. The themes reflect Gond cosmology, myths, and the harmony of the natural world. Ram Singh’s paintings are marked by delicate dotting, flowing lines, and a vibrant colour palette, creating a sense of movement and energy on the canvas. Over the years, he has participated in several national and international exhibitions, representing Gond art globally. His work has been acquired by collectors and art institutions, and he is considered one of the major carriers of Gond painting into the contemporary art discourse.

Description

In this vibrant painting by artist Ram Singh Urveti, an illustrative depiction of a scene from tribal life is portrayed. At the heart of this Gond artwork is a vivid tree structure, bursting with rhythmic, blue-hued branches that dominate the canvas. Emerging from its centre is a sun-like face, radiant and watchful, with its tongue extended in an expression that may signify energy or divine presence. This central figure is the literal and symbolic “face” of the sun, embedded within the tree, suggesting a fusion of celestial energy and earthly life. At the bottom of the tree are two men with the ‘dholak’, a two-headed Indian drum, dancing and celebrating nature's rhythm and importance.

This painting, with a bright yellow background and rendered in vibrant hues, is a poetic celebration of life, energy, and the sacred unity of nature.

Rooted in the cultural and spiritual traditions of the Gond community, this work transforms folklore into vibrant imagery, celebrating the deep connection between nature and life. This timeless treasure belongs in your collection.

The Sun-faced Tree is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece that brings depth, mythology, and rootedness into your home. Add it to your collection today and celebrate the harmony of art, earth, and spirit.

What materials are used in the creation of your Gond paintings?

How should I care for my Gond painting?
To care for your Gond painting, keep it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Frame it under UV-protective glass, avoid handling, and gently dust it with a soft brush or cloth.
Are the paintings framed or unframed?
Gond paintings can be either framed or unframed, depending on the artist's choice and the buyer's preference. Framing is common for display purposes, especially for preserving and protecting the artwork.
Can I commission a custom Gond painting?
Yes, you can commission a custom Gond painting, as many artists offer personalized designs based on your preferences. Custom works often include specific themes, colors, or motifs that resonate with the buyer.
