This contemporary painting brings to life most vibrantly, the dance culture of Kerala, which is a veritable melange of two iconic classical forms: Theyyam and Kathakali. 

Measuring 24 X 18 inches, it is an acrylic painting made on high-quality canvas.

Specialty: Theyyam means “the dance of the gods” and is a folk dance form based on the indigenous religious traditions of Malabar. The dance has a rhythmically most interesting form in its compilation of singing, chanting, and dancing, usually by lower caste artists. While Kathakali is recognizable through its elongated makeup, expressive facial expressions, and bright costumes, with stories of gods and demons, this painting brings out the two performing arts in their true spirit by differentiating between them, yet rejoicing in the rich cultural heritage of Kerala.

This is a modern art that reflects Indian culture. It is a perfect painting for both Western and Indian architecture. The painting has a dark background which makes it suitable for any well-lit room with light wall shades. We suggest putting up this painting in your drawing room due to its welcoming property. You could also choose this painting for your office waiting area.
