Deer and Chital in Gond by Gareeba Singh Tekam

This engaging Gond painting by master artist Gareeba Singh Tekam is a powerful celebration of community and survival in the forest ecosystem. True to the traditions of Gond art, the piece uses intricate patterns and a limited, earthy color palette to tell a story of harmony among different animal groups. The composition is divided into two distinct scenes, each showcasing a separate community of animals coexisting within the same natural world.

The upper portion of the canvas features a group of deer, their forms intertwined in a dynamic, almost dance-like arrangement. Their bodies are rendered in rich hues of maroon and brown, each filled with a unique, textured pattern of fine lines. Their necks are gracefully elongated, giving the impression of constant movement and watchfulness as they navigate the forest.

Below them, a different scene unfolds with the Ghutri, the local Gondi name for Chital. This group is depicted with a serene, familial intimacy. The two larger animals, distinguished by their majestic, branching antlers, are painted in deep shades of dark blue and brown. Their bodies are covered in intricate Gond patterns, showcasing the artist’s meticulous attention to detail.

The painting's primary theme is the interdependence of forest life. By presenting both the deer and the Ghutri in separate, yet harmoniously arranged groups, Tekam highlights how different communities—whether animal or human—survive and thrive in the wilderness. The artwork is a beautiful reflection of the Gond worldview, which emphasizes the strength found in unity and the deep respect for the individual roles each living being plays within the grand tapestry of nature.
