Gareeba Singh Tekam’s practice is pushing the visual boundaries of Gond art with his signature lions but still using original Gond art motifs. He has created a series of paintings that play with the idea of duality - light and dark, white and black, and the sun and moon. Gond or Pardhan painting is a popular indigenous art tradition from Madhya Pradesh dating at least 1500 years. The art relies on dots and dashes for its motifs. It depicts nature and myth, often with bright colours.
