Joel Trumbo’s art is full of colours and beautiful intricate patterns. The majority of the themes of this artist are biblical and show historical reproductions. Take a look at this work which is “The carpet page from the Gospel of Mark. The blue and red central panels are based on Anglo-Saxon enameled brooch designs.”

Take a look at these beautiful fish done in colourful Gond art style. Manishi Bhasin’s reinterpretation of the traditional theme of a school of fish is truly a visual delight.
