Suresh Dhurve

Suresh Dhurve

Gond artist Inspired by Nature Torch bearer of art

Every artist gets their inspiration from a source, for Suresh Kumar Dhurve, birds are more than subjects, they are memory, rhythm, and identity. Growing up in Patangarh - a central point of Gold culture, he recalls long afternoons spent identifying birds by their calls, tracking their flights across the horizon, and listening to village elders tell stories of how certain species were tied to gods and ancestors. These impressions never left him. When Jangarh Singh Shyam, the great innovator of Gond art encouraged him to paint, it was birds that came first to Suresh’s canvases, and they have remained there ever since.

His early works were full of vivid colour, the birds painted against Gond’s characteristic patterned backgrounds. But as his style evolved, Suresh began stripping his palette down, experimenting with monochromes. In his black-and-white works, birds emerge in quiet elegance, their wings etched in rhythmic detailing, their forms simultaneously fragile and strong. It was this distinctive language that earned him a solo exhibition at Bharat Bhavan in 2007, featuring 35 works that confirmed his standing as a leading Gond voice.

Since then, Suresh’s art has travelled widely, from Indian galleries to international platforms like the National Gallery of Canada. Yet his themes remain constant: flocks in flight, birds in nesting clusters, divine rhythms woven into avian form. His work is both deeply personal, rooted in his own memories of growing up, the universe around him and the Gond belief of being connected to nature.
