Coolie # 1 by Sher Singh (Edition #13)

Published Contract:

Token ID displayed:

The art that Sher Singh (b. 1960) practices is a skill that has been passed down through many generations. Born in Jhabua district of Madhya Pradesh, Sher Singh was a daily wage earner, though he watched his mother Bhuri Bai—now an acknowledged tribal master artist—decorate the house during festivals like Holi or Diwali as a form of prayer every year of his life. More than 30 years ago, artist and visionary J. Swaminathan started encouraging the tribals—the Bhils group being one—to take up painting commercially, on canvas and paper. That is where his mother earned a name for herself and the skill passed onto her son Sher Singh. Sher started drawing on canvas by the time he was 15. Over time, he developed a unique colour palette and individualistic themes. Moving away from tradition, Sher Singh was a pathbreaker and started incorporating scenes from his daily life into his art. He started accompanying his mother to painting workshops and enjoyed the process of creation, growing to become a well-known tribal artist. He has been part of many shows and has collaborated to animate stories into films. Amitabh Bachchans movie Coolie is famous among villagers. I often feel that this movie inspired tribals to work hard and the Bhil community understood the importance of taking care of family members.
