Sun and Moon in Gond by Gareeba Singh Tekam

This vibrant painting by master artist Gareeba Singh Tekam, a luminary of the Gond Tribal Tradition, is a profound celebration of the bond between humanity and nature. Hailing from the state of Madhya Pradesh, the Gond style is renowned for its use of rich colors, geometric shapes, dots, and lines to honor the natural world.

Tekam's work here is a visual interpretation of the "Karma Song" of the Gondi Tribe, centering on the celestial duo of Suraj-Chaand, the Sun and Moon. The sun, depicted in an eclipsed form against a black background, symbolizes darkness and the intense heat of the May-June season, while the moon represents coolness. This extreme heat spurs the villagers to action, as they diligently tend to their farms and homes. This period is crucial for both cultivation and home repairs, showcasing how human activity is deeply intertwined with the rhythms of the seasons.

The painting's palette of bold reds, blacks, blues, and grays expertly captures the warmth and coolness of nature. Tekam portrays hardworking villagers toiling in the heat, with men and women engaged in cultivation using manual cow ploughs. These figures are rendered with subtle touches of light yellow, red, orange, blue, pink, and red, bringing a sense of life and movement to the scene. Through this powerful rendition, Gareeba Singh Tekam invites us on a journey to appreciate the deep and enduring connection between humanity and the natural world.
