Tree and Deer in Gond by Manoj Tekam

This exquisite Gond painting by Manoj Tekam gracefully captures the harmonious coexistence of nature’s creatures beneath a magnificent tree, showcasing the artist’s deep-rooted connection to tribal folklore and natural symbolism. At the heart of the composition stands a grand, sprawling tree, its trunk adorned with intricate spiraling patterns in shades of blue and violet, symbolizing the eternal rhythms of life and the sacredness of nature. The foliage, meticulously rendered with fine, feather-like strokes in soft grey hues, radiates an ethereal quality, as if the branches are whispering ancient secrets carried by the wind. Nestled within this tranquil sanctuary are two beautifully stylized deer — one painted in warm brown tones and the other in vibrant orange — both adorned with rhythmic, scale-like motifs characteristic of Gond art. The deer, often regarded as gentle spirits of the forest in tribal belief systems, appear in mid-motion; one deer playfully reaching toward the tree while the other reclines serenely at its base, their expressive, almond-shaped eyes reflecting a sense of watchfulness and grace. The interaction between the animals and their environment subtly conveys the Gond philosophy of interconnectedness, where every creature and element in nature holds equal reverence and vitality. Tekam’s masterful use of repetitive line work and earthy color palettes infuses the scene with both dynamism and meditative calm, transforming this composition into a lyrical ode to the beauty and sanctity of the natural world, celebrating age-old indigenous traditions through contemporary artistic expression.
