Capturing tribal women

AFTER BRINGING to the fore its inventive flair in its terrabatik creations, The Heritage, A 7, Anna Nagar East, has conjured up a fresh range of murals and oil paintings depicting tribal women from Rajasthan.

The collection, on display at an exhibition at the crafts shop, is distinct for its artistry. Thick coats of paint is used for the outlines, thereby giving the oil works a three-dimensional effect. The use of earth tones and the touch of luminosity lend the paintings a pleasing visual quality. The murals portraying the Rajasthani women stand out for their craftsmanship and fine use of colour. The exhibition is on till May 28.
