'Powerful Images - Indian rock art from its earliest times to recent times'
New Exhibition - Museo de Altamira

India is one of the countries in the world with the most rock art sites. The majority of them are in the centre of the country located in the current state of Madhya Pradesh. Particularly noteworthy are the paintings of the Satpura, Vindhya and Kaimur mountain ranges. These regions are made mostly of sandstone, a type of stone that wears down relatively quickly to form shelters and caves, which are also located within thick forest, making them ecologically ideal for occupation in the past.

These shelters were used from the Stone Age by the first people, maintaining their occupation until later periods, and depicting animal and human representations and signs on walls and ceilings. When art first appeared, it appeared full-blown in a technically and aesthetically sophisticated fashion.

One of the most important characteristics of Indian rock art is that it goes on being revered by the local people. This persistence of age-old beliefs and ceremonies concerning rock art sites has become extremely rare in the world nowadays and unfortunately it is fast coming to an end, even in India. Loss of meaning may entail loss of respect and eventually degradations and loss of the site itself. The more recent rock art of the past often has a direct connection to the tribal art of the present: traditional ceremonies, followed since time immemorial, are still taking place in various painted shelters at auspicious times of the year which thus give an unexpected new dimension to Indian rock art, bringing the rock art to life and giving it a relevance. It is not a dusty relic, but in fact an active portal to power and knowledge. Sadly, however, whilst rock art is still potent, it is increasingly delicate.
