Stampede in the Village

This striking artwork, ‘Stampede in the Village’, created by Padma Shri awardee Bhuri Bai, offers a powerful glimpse into an unusual moment of tension in village life. Stepping away from the usual harmony often seen in Bhil art, Bhuri Bai masterfully captures a stampede scene — a rare and chaotic moment where humans are seen gathering in panic, climbing trees, while others attempt to drive away the wild animals surging through the village. With her signature style of intricate dots, vibrant colours, and rhythmic patterns, Bhuri Bai brings this high-energy scene to life in this acrylic on canvas artwork. The fear in the eyes of both people and animals, painted with expressive detail, adds a deeply emotional layer to the work.

Set against a bold orange backdrop, the composition pulses with motion and urgency. Yet, within this chaos, Bhuri Bai aptly portrays survival instinct and the fragile balance between humanity and the natural world.

Bhil art is celebrated for its storytelling rooted in local folklore, festive traditions, and an intimate relationship with nature. Through this rare depiction of turmoil rather than tranquillity, Bhuri Bai continues to honour her heritage by sharing memories from her childhood and her community's lived experience.

Whether placed in a living room, gallery wall, or a studio space, this unique 64.6 x 121-inch artwork invites viewers into the vibrant narrative world of tribal India.

Authentically hand-painted on canvas, ‘A Chaotic Stampede in the Village’ brings a bold energy, tradition, and artistic excellence to your space—a perfect conversation starter and a tribute to the soul of Bhil culture.
