Ladoo Bai has a distinctly contemporary style while depicting traditional forms. This juxtaposition is what lends her works their specific quality and makes her a flag bearer of Bhil art. She depicts animals in surreal ways and uses strong colours to enhance their forms. Here, a crocodile is shown with a fish as prey. There is a sense of urgency in this painting. Ladoo Bai uses dotted lines to add texture to the shapes of animals, keeping the traditional Bhil style in mind.
