Bouquet of Birds Artisan Crafted Vertical Marble Relief Wall Art from India

Neelima Gupta

(4)

First used hundreds of years ago to add dynamic texture and complexity to Hindu temples, Indian artists are perpetuating ancient styles in their present-day creations. Contemporary Indian artist Neelima Gupta interprets this tradition with her painting 'Bouquet of Flowers', which she painstakingly shapes over the course of a week by mixing marble powder to form a dough that she extrudes to give relief to the topographical imagery combining birds and flowers, over which she paints to bring nature to life. To highlight the scene's depth, Gupta surrounds the painting in a vertical neem wood frame.

Strong Canine Hand-Painted Wood Alebrije Canine Sculpture from Mexico

Eugenia and Roberto Sosa

(16)

Hand-carved of copal wood, this strong canine will bring the beauty of Mexican folk art to your home. Eugenia and Roberto Sosa create this sculpture, painting the dog by hand with varied and vibrant designs, such as spirals, geometric motifs, and checks in the traditional style of alebrijes.

Alebrijes are a fairly recent Mexican art form, attributed to Pedro Linares. Unconscious due to illness in 1936, he was presumed near death and yet his dreams were extremely vivid. He tells of a place where all was peaceful and quiet until all of a sudden there appeared a lion with an eagle's head, a rooster with bull's horns and a donkey with butterfly wings. They kept screeching "alebrije, alebrije!" and Pedro began running away. He encountered a man who told him it was not yet his time to be there are and he should continue running towards the exit. In this dream Pedro climbed out of a window and regained consciousness.

Sunset Bull Multicolored Wood Bull Alebrije

Zeny and Reyna

(334)

The exquisite detail on this handcrafted alebrije sculpture from Zeny and Reyna in Mexico make it a stunning addition to home decor. Carved by hand from copal wood, the imposing bull is carefully painted with a blazing sun motif as well as elaborate geometric motifs in a rainbow of colors. The tiny, intricate details are painted using a maguey thorn.

The folk art tradition of alebrijes dates back to the 1930's in Mexico City. A man named Pedro Linares was taken ill, and in his fevered dreams he saw a strange land populated with curious creatures--a donkey with wings, a rooster with bull's horns, and a lion with the head of a dog. The beasts all ran at him, shouting "alebrije! alebrije!". Upon his recovery, Linares began recreating the fantastical creatures he had seen in his dream. The art form gained popularity, and alebrijes are now made of wood as well as papier mache. The same style of painting can also be found on other (non-animal) items.

Desak Nyoman Parwati

Bali & Java

Desak fondly recalls the clear river water and beautiful scenery of her childhood. But her favorite memories were ones spent with her father, bringing him lunch at the farm and scaring away the birds. After he passed, Desak and her 10 siblings found themselves struggling to survive.

Everything changed in 2001 when she joined NOVICA. Today, her gorgeous batik robes and kimonos are internationally known, and her workshop employs 15 artisans who assist her in producing traditional and contemporary batik garments.
