Wild Companion

Sold by

Philomina Tirkey

Description

Created in 2002, Wild Companion by Philomina Tirkey draws from the instinctive energy of Khovar art. The bold outlines of a wild cat and its smaller counterpart bring a primal force to the surface. The repetition of textured strokes and the raw expression of the eyes emphasize the bond between instinct and survival. It’s both direct and poetic, reflecting the artist’s deep connection to nature.

Why This Artwork Stands Out:

  • A striking work in black and white, emphasizing line over color.
  • Embodies the essence of the Khovar tradition—spontaneous, unfiltered, alive.
  • Offers a narrative of care and coexistence between beings.
  • Suited for collectors who seek raw, unpolished authenticity in art.

This painting carries the quiet power of the earth and the lives shaped by it.

What is special about Khovar painting?
Khovar Painting is a tribal painting tradition prominent in the villages of Jharkhand’s Hazaribagh district. Traditionally created to adorn the wedding room of a bride and groom, Khovar itself means 'bridal chamber'. The painting is done in monochrome, using a white and black sgraffito technique to symbolize the womb and fertility for a nuptial chamber.
Do the paintings come with a certificate of authenticity?
Yes, each Rooftop Indian painting comes with a certificate of authenticity, verifying its origin, authenticity, and the identity of the artist.
