PROVENANCE:
Private Collection, Mumbai

Sudani Bai was born in 1979 in Bhagdeva village in Bastar, Chhattisgarh. She began painting in the 1990s, and like only a few other women artists from Bastar who have used art as a medium for self expression, Sudani Bai creates her own unique narratives. With no formal training, her vibrant vignettes of village life offer a completely new idiom that encapsulates her own life experiences. Using bright colours and clear figuration, her art touches upon traditions such as creating rope from tree bark, and social commentaries on the daily politics of community living.
