Uplifting Wall Art

Uplifting — 4 museum-grade prints that set the mood. DESIGN BRIEF: the brief was the tree of life as the whole panel, so a single great tree rises from the foot and spreads its rounded boughs to fill most of the field, perched birds and a pair of peacocks at the crown, climbers threading the branches. We held the fill to medium and kept the fish-net frame open rather than a packed mesh, letting clear brick-red ground show through the gaps in the boughs so the tree breathes and the birds and climbers stay legible. Hanuman's leap belongs to the Ramayana's Sundara Kanda — his bound across the ocean to Lanka — and to the later episode in which he carries an entire mountain of healing herbs when he cannot identify the Sanjivani. Cheriyal scrolls come from Cheriyal village in Telangana's Siddipet district, painted for generations by the Nakashi artist community on a signature red ground and unrolled by travelling balladeers who sang the epics to village audiences through the night. Makar Sankranti — kept in Telangana over several days in mid-January — is celebrated across western and southern India with rooftop kite-flying, sweets and bonfires marking the sun's turn toward the north. Cheriyal scroll painting comes from Cheriyal village in Telangana's Siddipet district, painted by the Nakashi artist community on a signature red ground and once unrolled by travelling balladeers to narrate epics and caste legends, with stacked registers used to narrate a sequence of scenes.
