TRIBALART I

Appearances of things are abstracted from their material existence and transformed into visions, forms and images in Art, e.g., a picture is made with pigments on a given surface, but the painting that emerges is not ‘pigment on canvas’ since it expresses its own space and a particular relationship Bhil painting between the human and the world; it is both significant and speakable in this sense. In short, a work of Art has a continuous existence and identity, and like a human being it is ‘no-thing’, a nonfactual order of be-ing. The modern world is dominated by a fact-ridden reality, beset with dichotomies and hierarchies which become irreconcilable. It is only when one understands this basic holistic vision which gives rise to non-utilitarian attitude to man and his creative work, that any insight to "tribal" Art research may become possible.
