Narmada Prasad Tekam
Narmada Prasad Tekam is a renowned Gond artist from Madhya Pradesh, India, whose vibrant artworks are marked by his deep understanding of the rhythm of nature and life. His artworks feature human and animal figures, and draw inspiration from mythology and religion, as well. Like many of his fellow tribal artists, Narmada Prasad Tekam is entirely self-taught – he started creating art at the age of ten, making designs on the ground while tending to cattle in the fields, and painting on the walls of his home with black and yellow clay.
Narmada Prasad Tekam’s immense talent was discovered by a student of acclaimed Indian artist, Jagdish Swaminathan, when he first came to Bharat Bhavan in Bhopal from his village, Patangarh, in 1983. Since then, his artworks have been displayed in many exhibitions, including a group show in Los Angeles, in 2010. The artist has also contributed illustrations of goddesses for the bilingual book, ‘Gond Devlok’ by Dr. Dharmendra Pare, published by the Adivasi Lok Kala and Tulsi Sahitya Academy. In 2006, he was awarded the Shikhar Samman by the Government of Madhya Pradesh.
