| Matsyamandala - Folk Art Madhubani Painting on Hand Made Paper |
The matsya (fish) motif holds pride of place in Indian
culture and art. It is the form resorted to by Lord Vishnu in one of His
all-important avataras (incarnations). It is the most sattvik of the animal
manifestations of prakrti (nature). In the diverse settlements along the ample
Indian coast it is both the subject of worship as well as the object of
livelihood. On this page is a Madhubani-style painting of a matsyamandala
where mandala (roughly translated to ‘universe’) of fish of numerous colours
and shapes.
The fish swim in the white and grey foam of dancing
saltwaters. As they swim about in concentric circles covering the entirety of
the canvas, they form a kaleidoscopic view of basic, vibrant pastels. Cobalt
blue and turquoise green and marigold orange and earthy brown. Heads shoving
against tails, eyes peering characteristically out of their sockets. Each of
the circle of fish is distinguished by a curve of miniscule triangles in the
same colours as the bodies of the creatures that swim between them.
The humble origin of Madhubani paintings lies in the
Mithila region of Bihar. The homebound women of the rural region developed
their own rudimental but expressive style as they painted on the mud walls of
their humble homes. Today these works of folk art are made on mobile canvases
because they are desired by patrons of traditional Indian art the world over.
The unusual one that you see on this page would be a fine addition to your
space.
