Solemn Wall Art

Solemn — 2 museum-grade prints that set the mood. DESIGN BRIEF: the brief was to hold the Guar sacrifice as a measured rite, not a violent instant, so the buffalo is led calmly by rope at the centre of its band with a tall tasselled memorial post rising beside it and mourners approaching from both sides carrying rice-pots and a drum. We held the fill to medium and kept the fish-net frame bold and open rather than a merged mesh, with clear warm-maroon space between the rows so the buffalo reads as a distinct heavy shape and the kin and the hamlet below never crowd into it. DESIGN BRIEF: the brief was to draw the Guar memorial as a single readable transaction, not a crowd scene. So the layout stacks it vertically — sun and moon and the tree of life crown the top, the seated ancestors get the sheltered house-shrine in the upper-middle, and the buffalo offering anchors dead centre at the bottom where the eye finally lands.
