Sher Singh Bheel, born in Jhabua district of Madhya Pradesh, paints in a contemporary Bhil style inculcated from the work of his mother, Bhuri Bai of Zher. Beginning to learn at the age of seven, he took after his mother in painting on paper and canvas since he was fifteen.
Sher Singh depicts stories recited during different rituals like Ghatlas, Gal Bapsi and Gal Gadera. Practising for years, Sher Singh developed an incredible sense of colour to be able to juxtapose them in constructing his forms, allowing a play of contrast and harmony on the pictorial space. He was involved with a team at IIT Bombay for an animated film titled ‘Hum Chitra Banate Hain’. He worked closely with the scriptwriters to illustrate the tale of how painting came to be a part of the Bhil community ritual. His painted images were then animated for the film that received the National Film Award 2016 for the best animation film among other critical acclaim.
Sher Singh has been a part of a number of workshops and exhibitions such as ‘ONLINE: o2’, Ojas Art Gallery, 2021; Industrial Design Center, IIT Bombay, 2014; ‘The Tribal Cooperative Marketing Development Federation’, Bhopal, 2013; Bharat Bhavan, Bhopal, 2014; Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Manav Sangrahalaya, Bhopal, June 2012, October 2012, Jan 2012 and August 2011; Indira Gandhi National Center for Arts, New Delhi, 2004.
