I
happened to see above painting in a newspaper yesterday and got intrigued to
know more about the artist Bhuri Bai. I found that Bhuri Bai is a Bhil artist.
She was born in Bhil (tribal) community in Madhya Pradesh. Initially she
created art on the walls of her home and moved on to to start using acrylic colors
and paper to make paintings. She has won many awards including the highest
state honour accorded to artists by the Madhya Pradesh government, the Shikhar
Samman.
You
can read about her here
on Asian Age website also:
A
few of her other paintings are displayed here on Saffron Art website:
It
is really great to see her paintings. I hope you liked those too.
