The life of a knitter-artist weaver between the looms

A beautiful contemporary heritage created by the tapestry master. An auspicious start. Generally, the front and back parts of the finished cloth look different, which is known as straight and reverse, but according to Rajenji, the craft is so interesting that both the front and back parts look the same and "become the thing." If the raised line is delicate and soft. The reverse-back looks more interesting because the raised line (contours) is sharper. Due to this, the quality of light planning on both sides is also quite different. This artist had such an understanding of weaving that he observed the traditional Fench tapestry weaving technique (goblin weave) and made some improvements. In this the front side is very fine and beautiful but the back side is a huge tangle of threads. Back they cross each other. Rajenji improved this method, making the back weave as beautiful as the front - rather it worked better. Moving beyond the Gobalin weave, he made wall hangings, partitions and curtains. Thus, he used to create multi-subject paintings on large canvases. He loved Indian miniatures, their sharp lines, delicate colors and clean forms. Inspired by Persian, Rajasthani or Pahari miniatures, Ajanta murals, Mudhal floral inlays, elephants etc. and such pictures, he kept this tradition alive with confidence and complete mastery of weaving.

A cultural touch in small yet elegant, large and majestic works

Rajen Chowdhury, who lived on the soil of Gujarat and merged with it, originally from Uttar Pradesh also became a Sangini of Gurjar Nari Darshi, he migrated here. Indulging in childlike curiosity, this artist roamed the land of Gujarat on a scooter. Rajenji, a handloom lover, gave cloth to many geometric shapes. Reminiscent of the Hyderabadi patola, the tufted Dari makes a striking impression with red, white horizontal stripes and a central black square. Another horizontal streaked white creates a rich iridescent hue with dark brown lines. Another simple yet effective design with a thick-thin texture has a red fringe, brown edges and horizontal-vertical lines. This Dari with black, yellow, saffron dots also lives in everyone's mind. A nature-loving artist has a special vision of Ishvardatta, so he believed in "Yatha Dashti and Creation". When we see the common crow with long legs, long beak and black-washed color, we also picture a plant swarming around with flowers and buds and we wait for Ka... Ka... The back decorates the frame with a red border with white dots. So, if you find light pink and white flamingos in the light water after swimming, you will also cherish them and paint them in red, green, black background. A dynamic Surkhab weaves several dance postures. A crowd of Surkhabs dances in the wings with joy.

The color in the sun's nose, the shapes crimson, the bright sun turning the desert crimson and the appearance of the camel—also red, yellow, black, thin-legged—is moving.
