  • ABOUT Ram Singh Urveti

    Born in 1970, Ram Singh Urveti is among the senior-most artists of the Pardhan Gond community, with a practice spanning over three decades. He began working with Jangarh Singh Shyam in 1990, and soon developed an independent visual language rooted in Gond myths, memory, and transformation. His paintings are known for their finely detailed organic forms, where animals, trees, and human figures merge in fluid states of metamorphosis. Ram Urveti has held significant solo exhibitions, including at Bharat Bhavan, Bhopal (2018) and Jehangir Art Gallery, Mumbai (2001). He is the author of "I Saw a Peacock with a Fiery Tail" (2011) and co-author of "The Night Life of Trees" (2006), both published by Tara Books. His works are held in major institutional collections including Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Manav Sangrahalaya, Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts, Lalit Kala Akademi, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, among others. Ram Singh Urveti has participated in numerous national and international exhibitions, including the India Art Architecture and Design Biennale and exhibitions across Europe and India since the late 1990s. He has received several honours, including the Noma Concours Award (UNESCO, Tokyo, 2000), the BolognaRagazzi Award, and the National Award from Lalit Kala Akademi (1998).

  • ABOUT Gond Art

    Among the largest tribes in India, the Gonds have a recorded history that goes back 1400 years. The Gonds are present in significant numbers in Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Odisha, and their art is loved by connoisseurs of culture.

    The Gonds believe that a good image brings good luck, and it is this belief that can be found at the root of Gond art. Concerned with warding off evil and ushering in good luck, they decorate their houses with traditional tattoos and motifs.

    For the Gond, everything is intimately connected to nature, and Gond paintings feature motifs that depict their beliefs and rituals, life in the village, and man’s remarkable relationship with nature. Renowned for their vibrant colours and imaginative use of lines and dots, Gond artworks today are made using natural colours sourced from soil, plants, charcoal and cow dung, as well as acrylic paints.

    Jangarh Singh Shyam was India’s most noted Gond artist, who passed away in 2001. Several members of his family are renowned Gond artists, including his wife, Nankusia Shyam, children Mayank Shyam and Japani Shyam, brother in law Subhash Vyam and his wife, Durga Bai.
