Twin Birds of Khovar

Sold by

Mammu Kumar Bharati

Description

In Twin Birds of Khovar, Mammu Kumar Bharati captures movement and balance through the intertwined forms of two birds. Painted in 2002 using natural earth pigments, the piece reflects the Khovar tradition where birds symbolize companionship and communication. The dense black on a warm ochre base creates a strong visual rhythm that recalls the texture of wall murals found in Jharkhand’s homes.

Why This Artwork Stands Out:

  • From the rare Khovar lineage of painting—traditionally practiced by women and now reinterpreted by male artists like Bharati.
  • Organic patterns and fluid detailing make it visually engaging.
  • Earth tones and textured lines that blend rural storytelling with minimal abstraction.
  • A meaningful addition for collectors drawn to tribal symbolism and natural forms.

A piece that speaks softly of tradition while holding its own in modern interiors.

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 Twin Birds 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.
Are the artworks on Rooftop signed by the artist?
Yes! Khovar artworks like Twin Birds are all original artworks signed by the artists.
Does this painting have a meaning that the painter wants to convey?
Maybe, maybe not. Most artists, especially when it comes to Khovar paintings like Twin Birds, paint with some meaning in mind, but when they share the artwork with the world, they let the viewers decide their own meanings and interpretations. So that everyone may have their own unique experience of the art.
