Shersingh Bhabor

Born in Jhabua district of Madhya Pradesh, Sher Singh has been trained in the traditional art of Bhil Painting, a skill that has been passed down through many generations. He started learning at the age of 7 and by the age of 15, he was drawing on canvas. In his painting, he depicts stories of the different rituals like Ghatlas, Gal Bapsi and Gal Gadera. He has developed a very unique colour palette. Instead of sticking to just tradition, Sher Singh incorporates his daily life in to his painting. He is always searching for inspirations, stories which he turns into mesmerizing paintings.
