Rajendra Shyam - Some select works


Rajendra Shyam, or Raju, as he is affectionately addressed, is a shy and unassuming young man. He has over the last 4 or 5 years made his presence felt in the Gond art market, with his bold and almost-symmetrical visual style.

Raju's work will be exhibited at the Santa Fe Art Market from the 13th to the 15th of July 2010.

Bhuri Bai

Bhuri Bai is a Bhil tribal artist, from Jhabua District of western Madhya Pradesh . Her near pointilistic style is so very similar to Australian Aboriginal Art....! Not surprising, really, considering the word Gondwanaland which is sometimes used to geologically describe Australia, is from the Sanskrit, meaning 'Forests of the Gonds'.

One of Bhuri bai's works has been auctioned at Sothebys.
