Pichvai Tradition & Beyond presents a groundbreaking exhibition Feast, Melody and Adornment: The Art of Pichvai to celebrate its 10th anniversary. This landmark international showcase spans 800 feet and features over 400 hand-painted works over the past 100 years, charting the atelier’s artistic journey. Merging tradition with innovation, the exhibition reflects global art trends by reimagining classical techniques through a contemporary lens. This is the first major exhibition of Pichvai in London, allowing visitors to explore the historical significance of the 400-year-old art form and its artistic evolution. The exhibition includes Pichvai featuring more traditional motifs of lotuses and the sacred Nandi cow, with highly intricate Deccan pieces showcasing the pinnacle of technical mastery in this art form, as well as more contemporary interpretations of Pichvai utilising a more minimalistic palette.
