Sandeep Dhurve
Sandeep Dhurve was born in Patangarh, Madhya Pradesh in 2001, and raised in Bhopal. He was introduced to Gond painting through his father, Suresh Kumar Dhurve, a student of Jangarh Singh Shyam, whose influence continues to shape his practice. After completing his education, Sandeep began working as a full-time artist, focusing on works on paper, canvas, and murals. His paintings centre on wildlife, marine life, and forest ecosystems, often bringing attention to lesser-seen insects and textures within nature. A distinctive aspect of his work lies in his use of self-developed motifs inspired by natural surfaces such as skin, feathers, and cracked earth, which create intricate and tactile compositions. Alongside his studio practice, he engages in workshops, both as a participant and mentor, sharing Gond painting techniques with emerging artists. Sandeep’s work reflects a contemporary extension of the Gond tradition, rooted in observation, material sensitivity, and a personal engagement with the natural world.
