kutchi painting

'People's art in India does not wait for a canvas or paints made in a factory. Rock faces and caves, a village wall, the floor, a threshold, a palm-leaf, a piece of wood, or even the palm of a hand is space enough. For colours, the infinite hues provided by Nature from flowers, leaves, stones and even cowdung or soot collected from inside a chimney adequately fill the artist's palette. The instinctive urge to honour Nature and avoid polluting it allows people with traditional wisdom to experiment with any natural resource they find around them. Even when they move to chemically produced pigments and consequently brighten their expressions, the images, stories, motifs and local identities remain true to their known cultural understanding.'

- That's the essence of traditional Indian paintings, beautifully summarized by Jaya Jaitly in the book 'Crafting Nature'.

Lifestyles, climate, customs, traditions, natural resources and several other regional and political factors gave birth to various types and styles of paintings in different part of India. Irrespective of the region of origin, most of them are inspired by themes based on religion, nature, customs, epics and folklore.

Needle Craft

	See what's in Store!
Needle, that tiny strand of metal, seems quite trivial to most of us. But when you think that our basic clothing needs and the entire fashion industry rely on that tiny tool invented centuries ago, we realize that the simple needle can do wonders when held by skilled hands. Man's skill in using the needle, designs and techniques evolved over the years with numerous regional variations. During the Middle Ages, needlework was considered one of the highest forms of art and embroideries were regarded above brush paintings! Fabrics of all types were made and worked with incredible diligence and detailing to create very fine, exquisite and highly embellished clothing. With the invention of machines in the middle of the nineteenth century, things changed. Fabrics of different kinds could be made and not hand-woven. Printed designs and patterns replaced hand decorations. Skills that were common once slowly became a rarity.

  Indian embroidery is acclaimed world over for its variety, hues, finesse and details. There are several forms practised in different parts of the country - Kantha of West Bengal, Chikankari of Lucknow, Beadwork of Madhya Pradesh, Mirrorwork of Rajasthan, Kutch embroidery of Gujarat, Kasuti and Lambani of Karnataka, Phulkari of Punjab...the list goes on. For some communities, embroidery has a role in their rituals and traditions. In some parts of Gujarat and Rajasthan, styles, formats and colours of the embroidery are used to indicate the community and the marital status!
