About the Artwork +

In this rich and beautiful Warli Art, Dilip Bahotha paints the Tribal Warli Community. With a majestic tree in the center offering shelter and shade, the painting stresses the significance of how the tribal lifestyle relies heavily on trees in more ways than one. Residing in small hamlets called "padas," consisting of clusters of huts, the tribes practiced a communal way of living sharing resources, and responsibilities, and celebrating important occasions collectively. The painting features small figures of men and women engaged in mundane practices of daily life. With people farming, mothers tending to their children, women drawing water from a well and carrying it on their heads, and other daily chores. Since farming is the tribe's way of living, they have immense respect for nature and wildlife for the resources that they provide. The painting also features a tribal celebration through a tarpa dance. Men and women entwine their hands and move in a circle around the tarpa player. The Warli tribal way of life is deeply rooted in their relationship with nature, sustainable practices, community cohesion, and cultural expressions.

Warli


Warli art is a traditional Indian art form reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the Warli tribe in Maharashtra. This ancient tribal art is known for its simple and narrative style executed through geometrical and monochromatic designs. Tradition and Legend Warli art, like many other traditional art forms, is deeply rooted in the traditions and cultural practices of the Warli tribe. This art, conventionally was a communal activity, where women, adults alongside children would participate to draw on the walls and floors of their huts during special occasions like harvests, weddings, and funerals. Mostly, it is a significant means of storytelling, capturing scenes from daily life, rituals, and nature. However, the underlying theme in most Warli paintings is the tribe’s relationship with the land and nature. Warli art is not only an artistic expression but also a repository of tribal beliefs and myths. The Warli tribe worships several deities, specifically a mother goddess, Hirwe, who represents fertility and the earth's abundance. Various symbols in Warli art represent different aspects of their belief system: the spiral shape symbolizes life cycles, while The circle represents the sun and moon, and stands as a symbol of the eternal cycle of life and nature. Technique  Warli art is characterized by its simple, monochromatic style. Traditionally, artists create paintings on mud or brick walls, using a base of cow dung and mud as a canvas. The images are drawn using twigs or bamboo sticks with white pigment, typically rice flour mixed with water and gum as a binder. The Warli art uses basic geometrical vocabulary like stick figures, triangles, circles, and simple shapes to represent humans, animals, trees, and other elements of nature. The square indicates a sacred enclosure, the “chauk” (platform); for the tribal mother goddess, symbolising fertility. Mostly, scenes portraying hunting, farming, festivals, dances, trees, and animals surround the central motif in these paintings.
