Ram Singh Bhavor

Ram Singh Bhabhor, a tribal artist from Madhya Pradesh, is known for preserving Bhil traditions through his vivid depictions of animals, trees, and Adivasi life. His paintings not only celebrate nature and daily living but also reflect the authenticity of Bhil artistic heritage. As the grand-nephew of the renowned Bhil artist Bhuri Bai, Ram Singh grew up surrounded by art. He developed an interest in drawing at an early age and has been actively pursuing it since 2010. His works have been displayed in major museums and galleries, including the Indira Gandhi Manav Sangrahalaya and Bharat Bhavan in Bhopal, as well as the Tribal Museum in Mysore. He has also participated in exhibitions in cities such as Dehradun and Bhubaneswar. A signature feature of his art is the use of thousands of dots to create intricate patterns. These dots form images of animals, trees, birds, deities, and scenes from daily life and mythology. His paintings, vibrant in colour and detail, express a deep connection to nature, cattle, and rural traditions, offering viewers a vivid glimpse into the world of the Bhil community.

Description

Artist Ram Singh Bhabhor is celebrated for his ability to blend traditional tribal storytelling with contemporary artistic expression. He takes us into the world of the Bhil tribe’s spiritual beliefs and customs through his work of ‘Horses of Ghatla Dev’. In Bhil culture, several local gods and goddesses are worshipped through various rituals, social customs and traditions. Amongst them is ‘Ghatla Dev’, believed to be a protective ancestral spirit or guardian deity of the Bhil community. He is one of the clan or village deities often invoked during rituals and painted as part of the Pithora wall painting tradition. In the plethora of tribal deities, Ghatla Dev plays a supporting yet significant role alongside other major deities. In this painting, the artist depicts six horses of ‘Ghatla Dev’ rendered in green, pink and blue hues. They include checkered dot-like patterns, which is quintessential to the traditional Bhil art style. The stunning painting further shows two birds soaring high up in the sky and diyas placed between the pairs of horses. A symbol of harmony in nature and the divine beliefs of the Bhil tribe, the beautiful symmetry enhances the overall composition of this painting. If you want to bring in a bit of that eclectic tribal artistry into your home and light up part of a contemporary space with hints of Indian culture, this painting is a great fit.
