Gond painting buying guide: choosing an original Gond artwork
Gond art comes from the Gond community of Madhya Pradesh. Artists fill animals, birds and trees with patterns of dots, dashes and fine lines, so that each painting seems to move and tell a story. Paintings in this collection, on paper and canvas, are by Gond artists including Rita Shyam, Ramesh Shyam, Nankusia Shyam, Santu Tekam, Reshma Shyam and Dinesh Shyam.
How to recognise an original Gond painting
- Hand-filled patterns: dots and dashes vary slightly in size and spacing. Prints repeat them exactly.
- Layered paint: on paper and canvas you can see where colour has been built up by hand.
- Signature and certificate: every painting here ships with a signed certificate of authenticity naming the artist.
Popular Gond subjects
- Trees: the tree of life is the best-loved Gond theme. See Tree of Life paintings.
- Birds and deer: light, joyful choices for living rooms and children's rooms.
- Elephants: see elephant art across crafts.
