The Tiger God: A Cosmic World of Five Senses in Gond Painting by Venkat Shyam

This beautiful Gond painting by the artist Venkat Shyam showcases Tiger God with five senses and his rules. The Tiger God stands majestically at the center of the painting, embodying power and divinity. The tiger is rendered in intricate detail, typical of Gond art, with vibrant patterns like the half concentric circles and dots, motifs signifying his village and community life, and the supreme God, all together enhancing its form.

Venkat Shyam's "The Tiger God with Five Senses" is a profound Gond artwork where the Tiger God symbolizes authority and guardianship over both natural elements and the human senses. This painting uniquely blends traditional art with philosophical depth, inviting viewers to reflect on the interconnectedness of all existence.

The artwork visually articulates the five senses—space, water, fire, earth, and air—through symbolic imagery and color. Space is a thin white line, representing the soul's purity and boundless travel. Water, depicted as blue veins, signifies life-sustaining nourishment. Fire emanates in warm red/orange hues, symbolizing vitality. Earth is grounded by eight diverse hues, highlighting and anchoring the divine in the physical world. Lastly, air is subtly conveyed through the painting's dynamic flow and the bird, representing breath, freedom and the unseen essence of life.

Rich with traditional Gond patterns and motifs, the painting uses vibrant and diverse colors to create a vivid and dynamic visual experience, reinforcing the deep symbolism of each element and sense.
