Kalamkari is from ‘Kalam’ (pen) and ‘Kari’
(craftsmanship), words taken from the Persian for the art of hand painting done
on fabrics with the use of a pen and extended to include hand block printing.
There are two schools of art that developed Kalamkari initially
in India and from individual origins.

Srikalahasti style that used the pen for
drawing and filling in the colours, and with a strong influence of Hindu
culture that specifically focused on religious subjects and scenes from the
epics Ramayana and Mahabharata in its paintings.
The Machilipatnam style that came with an
Islamic slant, had subjects of paintings mostly depicting flora and fauna, with
floral designs as a backdrop on the fabric.
Both
styles that have popularised Kalamkarihave one thing in
common – the depictions are fine and neatly drawn, there is extensive use of
organic colours which are fast, there is no dilution in the skill and quality
over the years. Today’s Kalamkari has both styles
merged into one with different facets within the art.
The essence of Kalamkari
Kalamkari on traditional fabrics like the
salwar kamiz and saree showcases the simplicity, elaborate themes, sharp
detailing and attractive motifs in a host of bright and pleasing hues. Kalamkari comes
off beautifully on a whole lot of fabrics like silk, cotton, sico art silks
such as georgette, chiffon, Supernet, crepe silk and others.
With vegetable dyes being used, colours
are fast and long lasting. Motifs with trees, creepers, flowers, leaves, birds
are popular subjects.Gloss on the fabric comes from the traditional use of some
natural substances such as myrobalan, cow’s milk, cow dung, seeds, plants and
crushed flowers in the paintings. The etching of lines and applying of colour
is done with a finely sharpened short bamboo piece which reflects the devotion
and skill of the ethnic craftsmen to bring about such exquisite masterpieces
despite the limited resources.
A
time-consuming and arduous task, that involves patience and dedication, it is
the sharpness of the lines, the fine details and the picturesque outcome that
make this ethnic effort worth its while.
Kalamkari shalwar kameez in the printed variety have block
prints featuring floral designs and geometrical patterns arranged in designer
fashion. Modern abstract designs have also been included in recent times to
resounding applause from the market.
Ethnic art is like any other art. It is
however the toil and the effort in producing these exceptional works of detail
and flawlessness despite the limited resources available, that truly give it
its value.
