PAINTER
IS WRITING
SINGER
IS READING
Yes it is true of our
folk art culture , I am saying about
Rajasthani folk art and culture. Actually today I were invited for a art workshop of a art collage of my city . there a NGO SPIC MACAY was started
a folk art workshop with art students of my city . Folk art master S.N. Joshi will guide to all art
students about folk art .
That folk art is PHAD
Painting , it is relate to folk god’s of Rajasthan . this kind of painting is
very interesting for me . because a folk painter creating painting but that is
work for other like a book . so in my view
folk painter of phad Painting is a writer very first for folk culture of
Rajasthan . it is more interesting for me when a folk singer is read to that
phad painting , there singer is work like a reader for folk culture in folk society
.
I know your mind is creating a question for you how to it possible and why it is ?
In answer of your question I want to tell you, its
possible or it is , because in past people were created folk god by
imaginations . folk artist were gave some look to that imagination in form of
folk god , like pabu ji , goga ji, teja ji , hadboo ji . some folk painters
were painted that folk god image and surprising story of that folk god on a big cloth . they were calling to
that Phad painting . they did save that
folk god story painting in roll form ,
you can say it was roll book of folk gods . a painter was wrote that and today
that Phad writing culture is continue working in Joshi family of Rajasthan.
Joshi is a family cast of Indan Brahmin .
Actually Phad painters
were painted but they were wrote a story book of folk god .
After work of Painters
folk singers were singing to that phad
painting .we are calling to that cast BHOPA - BHOPI ( Male – Female ) . that couple
is read to painting of PHAD and they
sing to that in folk style .we are saying to that PHAD WACHAN ( Phad Reading )
. Bhopa Bhopi is explaining to great story of folk god by singing style by
support of Phad painting .
Folk culture people are
believing it , if folk god is support
and help to them when they listen to PHAD painting by Bhopa Bhopi . they feel their
folk god is bless on him /her , we know trust can do possible to impossible . so
it is acceptable sound for folk life or culture . it is working ,so it is live
today in our modern culture time .
Today in Rampuriya
collage Bikaner, campus I were noticed to phad painter S.N. Joshi ( Joshi Family ) artist was busy in
folk painting . he is not much more educate in his life but he is writing to book of folk god by his folk
painting style . his phad painting is very important for Bhopa Bhopi , because
that couple is surviving his/her life by
phad painting , without phad painting no identity of BHOPA –BHOPI in folk
culture or in prayer of folk god . so phad painting is very must about identity
of Bhopa - Bhopi .
Phad wachan ( reading
of PHAD painting ) , it is a live activity or a live prayer to folk god , it is
a very cultural science of social science
for get to cool and peace of mind or
health after pray to folk god . it is a
tradition of folk culture . its base attached to trust so it is still with our
contemporary culture and it is moving with time today .
Phad Painters Joshi
family is committed for this folk god story writing by painting . so they are continue painting
and teaching to next generation of their Joshi family .
In Phad painting they
are using same drawing line , colors and story parts of folk gods for reading
about Bhopa – Bhopi . they can’t change
to format of phad painting . so I can connect to their work to AJANTA cave Art
. there seven generation were worked in
a same format for promotion of god Budha
Image by wall paintings .
In a different
view a philosopher of INDIA Dr. Haridwari
prashad shastri was said text is also drawing of our inner sound , our inner
sound is our real folk .
When today I saw to
folk art master Sir S.N. Joshi , he said
to me I am not much more educate , I can’t
read to book , that time he was feeling some down , then I said to him no
no you are very much educate because a
complete folk culture society is listing
your writing words in voice of Bhopa Bhopi , so you are Phad Writer sir not only a painter . you are very
literate or educate for folk peoples.
After listen
my words , He was smiling and said to me , yes it is , I am doing it for folk
culture and I will do it continue ..
So here I said painter
is writing, singer is reading …

Since I'm not of your culture Ican't truly comment on your point of view. My question really would be isn't all art folk art in itsd basic form? How does your folk art differ from other cultures folk art . I think it justn shows us that all art is based in the human soul and has existed since man developed ideas, "cave drawings" are the very first examples of folk art, we've only made it more complex with our own subtle and not so subtle thoughts.
my Italian artist friend Jean Signoret said it for this blog post ( the stained-glass window (in the gothic churches) to Cy Tombly nowadays, yes NOWADAYS, occidental art is haunted by writing : to transmit something of value from generation to generation ( as in Phad painting) or a king of nolstagia for some lost meanings ( or to remember them or to awake them... no matter : the drawing of any letter of our language our own hand knows it "by heart" as included in our carnal memory). Speaking of Phad work, I guess you speak actually about yours : you paint, you write. That's why, I imagine, you need paper like a writer, every day one page, a necessary repetition as in Phad art, but some days little differences occur : the repetition is living, as a prayer, as your faith in your own culture.)
