The Nature's Struggle: Dogs and Tiger in Gond by Venkat Shaym

Artist Venkat Shyam paints a vibrant Gond artwork, capturing the captivating scene of survival and friendship showcasing two dogs and a tiger. The pouncing tiger, attacks the dogs, a sign of for its desperate survival, depicted in dynamic and intertwined postures that capture the moment of struggle, The dogs saving each other from the tiger's fury, are giving in all their effort, a sign of trust and frienship, possessed by the loyal animals.

Originating in the tribal Gond community, which lives in close communion with nature, these paintings portray a strong belief that every aspect of nature is animate and sacred. In Gond culture, dogs are revered for their loyalty, alertness and protective instincts. They are both companions and guardians, often appearing in folklore as wise and vigilant figures.

Set against a minimal white background, the use of different hues of blue, purple, brown and red, with black fine lines, textured dots and vibrant patterns, the signature pattern of the master artist gives the dogs and the tiger a unique identity while also emphasizing the natural way of surviving. The fluid curves and anatomy reflect not just an artistic tradition, but also a deep connection to nature and storytelling.

This painting stands as a testament to the Gond belief in the interconnectedness of all creatures, a perfect depiction of nature's instinctive way of survival.
