Shrine Under a Tree

Description

Rich in culture and tradition, India's tribal Bhil community celebrate their reverence towards nature through their art and customs of spiritual worship. The artwork shows a lively tree with detailed dotted patterns. Its bright orange, green, and blue colours show abundance and community spirit. It's a frozen frame in time that showcases the rich heritage and culture of the Bhil tribe. In this painting, artist Sher Singh Bhabhor brings alive one such scene of tribal worship. This hand-painted original showcases a majestic tree and a shrine under it. On top of the tree, there are birds, nests, honeycombs, and bats. The shrine below is surrounded by two tiny pithora horses and offerings like diyas, incense sticks, and coconuts. Women dressed in colourful tribal attire come with a basket full of offerings, accompanied by a small boy with a coconut in his hand. In this nature-inspired painting, you can also see two men - one dancing in joy, another lying down on the ground showing his faith and paying respects to the tribal god.

Sher Singh Bhabhor

Fusion Artist || Bhil Stoyteller

 Sher Singh Bhabhor comes from a family of Bhil Artists. His mother, Bhuri Bhai of Jher, is known for her expertly sculpted mud reliefs and Bhil paintings. Sher Singh started learning from her at the tender age of 7, by closely observing her at work, gradually picking up the nuances of color, motifs, and the rhythm of storytelling embedded in Bhil art - that's when his artistic journey began. Being from the younger generation of a family of Bhil artists, his work is riddled with newness, with a contemporary touch.  He gives new shape to the old tradition of Bhil art by embracing its style and merging it with the newer ones. 

Born in the Jhabua district of Bhopal, Bihar, Sher Singh was already painting on canvas by the age of 15. Unlike many traditional Bhil artists who relied primarily on a limited natural palette, Sher Singh experiments with a wide variety of color palettes and tones, reflecting his contemporary outlook. His work often blends ancestral Bhil motifs—dots, animals, deities, and forest life—with fragments of his personal experiences and everyday observations. In this way, his canvas becomes more than art; it becomes a diary, a visual chronicle of his evolving world.

Sher Singh went on to contribute greatly in promoting Bhil art through an animated film called “Hum Chitra Banate Hain”,  which beautifully explores the origins of Bhil wall painting traditions and the myths tied to them. The film went on to win the National Film Award in 2016, cementing Sher Singh’s place as not just a practicing artist but also a cultural ambassador for Bhil heritage.
Today, Sher Singh continues to actively paint, exhibit, and collaborate, carrying forward his family’s artistic lineage. His work is celebrated for its balance of tradition and innovation, and he is regarded as one of the promising young voices shaping the future of Bhil art.
