Hi Saad,
Thank you for your comment, here is some more information on the art
The region known as Warli is situated in Thane a district in the north of Maharashtra on the west coast of India. The origin of the Warlis is unknown, but many scholars and folklorists believe that it can be traced to as early as the tenth century AD. This art was eventually rediscovered in the early 1970’s, and became popular for its unique simplicity. The whole tribe paints, as it is a vital part of their day-to-day living.
They live very frugally and shun contact with outsiders.
The art form is a way of passing on their common folklore amongst a people who traditionally do not use the written word for communication. The themes chosen by the artists are mainly from nature. Harvest is one of their major themes. One other very popular theme is that of a wedding festival. The subjects found in these paintings are fields swaying with healthy crops, birds flying in the sky, group dancing around a person playing the music, dancing peacocks, women cooking or busy in their other house chores and children playing. Warli art always contains groups of people
Simply painted on mud, charcoal and cow dung treated surfaces with rice paste for the colour white,
Today, small paintings are done on cloth and paper. For the Warlis, tradition is still adhered to but at the same time new ideas such as the use of colour have been to meet new challenges from the market.
