Teen Room Wall Art

Teen Room — 3 museum-grade prints sized and toned for the room. The Apollo 17 Blue Marble photograph, taken en route to the Moon in December 1972, became one of the most reproduced images of Earth and helped galvanise early environmental awareness. Cassini orbited Saturn from 2004 to 2017, revealing ring dynamics and moon systems previously invisible from Earth. Kalaripayattu, practised in the kalari training pit, is among the oldest martial traditions of India, native to Kerala and combining strikes, leaps, weapons and a deep link to healing and devotion — training often begins with obeisance at the kalari's shrine lamp. This print sets a sword-and-shield bout inside bhitti chitra, Kerala's temple-mural tradition that flourished roughly from the 16th to 19th century and is still painted today: flat panchavarna pigments (red, yellow, green, black, white over an ochre or red ground), a bold lamp-black outline and the school's elongated lotus-shaped eyes. Gond painting comes from the Gond Adivasi communities of central India, with its best-known school formed by the Pradhan Gond of Patangarh and the wider Dindori region of Madhya Pradesh. The contemporary form is largely the legacy of Jangarh Singh Shyam (1962–2001), whose line-and-in-fill manner — every form bounded by a bold outline, then filled with rows of dots, dashes, commas and scales — became known as Jangarh Kalam and was carried on by his family and students.
