DUBBU BARIYA -BHIL-Madhya Pradesh, India Reptiles English Colors (DBB 11)

This Bhil composition is stark in form and colors, yet successfully conveys the vibrancy of life forms. The characteristic dotted coloring technique brings to mind the western pointillism movement. Each speck and dot as if impregnated with life force which brings alive the reptiles on paper. Staying true to the Bhil visual arts, his compositions imbibe his interactions with the modern world and his extensive exposure to arts from other regions and traditions, both nationally and internationally. The usage of English colors in this artwork makes this very unique.
