Bali And Sugriv in Gond Painting By Saroj Venkat Shyam

In this beautiful Gond painting, artist Saroj Venkat Shyam depicts two monkey brothers, Bali and Sugriva. Gond art is a unique form of tribal expression, renowned for its rhythmic lines, vivid colors and intricate dot and pattern work that breathe life into every form. This composition captures the iconic moment from the Hindu epic Ramayana, the battle between the monkey brothers, Bali and Sugriva.

True to the narrative, the confrontation takes place beneath a grand tree, which stretches out in elaborate foliage portrayed in signature Gond detailing. The dense canopy is filled with yellow and green fruits that add vibrancy to the otherwise monochrome scheme. Bali and Sugriv are distinguishable not just by their dynamic postures but also through the distinct shapes of the pots hanging from their tails.

The use of repetitive lines, flowing curves and wave-like patterns along with dots and dashes gives the composition a strong sense of rhythm and motion. This painting is more than a mythological retelling, it reflects the Gond tradition of storytelling through symbolic form and spiritual reverence. Saroj ji’s use of the nagavanshi (serpentine) line-work, a signature element of her style, adds depth and fluidity to the composition, distinguishing her work within the larger Gond art tradition. The artwork is a striking blend of narrative, devotion and artistic legacy, capturing not just a tale, but the vibrant spirit of tribal expression.
