[MANGAL, Joshi - Original Artwork] Outsider Tantric Folk Art - Image of Shiva's Trident over a Bowl with three Eyes [Image #035]
Kishangarh, Rajasthan: no date (modern). [#035] Gouache painting on recycled paper. This image shows a trident flanked by two eyes, with an additional eye above and a bowl of some sort below. In the background are what appear to be words or phrases in Devangari script, possibly more decorative than textual. The size of this image is approximately 8 x 11 inches including margins. Tiny chip to left margin, a bit of spotting to margins. Three small pinholes on image. Very good.
Joshi Mangal is a painter from Kishangarh in Rajasthan (India). His body of work is based on the artistic styles found in bazaars in his community and inflected by his idiosyncratic taste for sensational images of tantric art. He paints images of tantric goddesses, circular yantra designs, astrological images, various body parts used for divination (hands and feet), and more.
