Pigs

I will be out of town from July 11th to 20th. The gallery will not be open but the website will be working away as usual. Orders will be shipped after July 20th. I will be checking email mesages and should be able to repy to inquiries.

Indigo Arts has moved upstairs to a space on the fourth floor of the Crane Building. I am still arranging things up here but I am open on a "by appointment or by chance" basis. I am usually in the building from Wednesday through Saturday from 12 to 6, but it is definitely best to phone or email first. Meanwhile, the Indigo Arts online gallery is operating as usual.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions in the mean time.

Shivji and the Mahua flowers (the stages of intoxication)

SKU: Gond-8

Acrylic on canvas
(48" h. x 30" w. )

In this painting the artist depicts the stages a person goes through when he is intoxicated. Once Lord Shiva was doing penance under a tree he felt thirsty; he looked around for water and found it in a hollow of the Mahua tree. He did not realize that the water contained fermented Mahua flowers. After sipping some, he was euphoric, felt light in the head and became very talkative and chirped like a parrot. He could not resist and had some more. The more he had the louder and aggressive he got, it was as though he had taken the persona of a tiger. By this time he had lost all his senses and could not stand and started rolling on the ground like a wild boar.
