Race of tradition
"Race of Tradition" is a vibrant and dynamic portrayal of a man driving bullocks in the exhilarating Rekla bullock cart race, a cherished rural sport in Tamil Nadu. This painting captures the raw energy, speed, and skill involved as the driver expertly steers his powerful bullocks through the dusty racecourse.
The scene pulses with motion—the dust kicked up by the charging bullocks swirls around, emphasising the intensity and excitement of the race. The driver’s focused expression and firm grip on the reins convey determination, bravery, and a deep connection with his animals. His posture reflects years of experience and respect for the tradition he upholds.
This artwork pays homage to the cultural heritage of Tamil Nadu, where such races are not only competitions but vibrant community celebrations symbolising courage, endurance, and rural pride.
