Welcome to our vibrant celebration of Indian Folk Art!

 

India is a host to over 40 traditional folk arts. These folk arts have been passed on from generation to generation for over 3000 years. However, except for a handful, the rest of these art forms are on the verge of extinction. The once-thriving community of artists has now dwindled to a couple of families fighting to keep the art alive.  We, at the International Artists group want to make a difference. We have built a platform to support and grow our Indian folk art and artists. The platform allows different traditional folk art styles of India to collaborate in one digital space.

 

Step into a world where tradition meets innovation, every stroke of paint tells a story, and the colors of culture dance on canvas. Our exhibition is a testament to the rich tapestry of India's artistic heritage, showcasing the diversity and beauty of folk art forms from across the subcontinent.

 

From the intricate Madhubani paintings of Bihar to the bold Warli art of Maharashtra, each piece on display encapsulates the essence of its region, its people, and its way of life. Through these artworks, we invite you to embark on a journey through time and space, exploring the deep-rooted customs, beliefs, and folklore that have inspired generations of artists.

 

Through this fusion of tradition and modernity, we hope to spark conversations, provoke thoughts, and inspire appreciation for the timeless beauty of Indian folk art. May these artworks serve as windows into the soul of India, connecting us across borders and generations, reminding us of our shared humanity and the universal language of creativity.

 

Thank you for joining us on this artistic journey. We invite you to immerse yourself fully in the colours, stories, and rhythms of Indian folk art and discover the magic that lies within.
