About the Exhibition : 'Festive Rhythm’

These paintings inspired by the tribes of the Jhabua district, near Gujarat, India

Anuradha has very beautifully brought out the Bhagoria festivities of the Bhill (the name of the male tribes in that area) and Bhilal (the name of the female tribes in that area) where young men and women meet to choose their life partners.

Moods of this festival is well portrayed using earthen colours for the details of dresses and accessories though keeping her style of using black colour to bring out the emotions. The various earthen colours complement the mood and try to emulate the innocence of the youth, and their oneness with nature.

Anuradha has used well textured lines which show the flow of emotions. The stark black colour bordered with tinge of other colours enhances the features and brings out a delicate feel. As detailed embellishments in the periphery in heavy bright colours, create a ripple through the painting and the theme slowly seeps into the viewer.

Though ‘Festive Rhythm’ is about Jhabua tribes the deep impact of the tribes of Kutch (this is in Gujarat) on Anuradha is very evident in this series. This impact has manifested in the form of embellishments and in dressing details of these Bhill and Bhilal tribes in the paintings.

Anuradha’s paintings have been influenced by the lifestyles of tribes when she worked among the tribes of Gadchiroli area, Maharashtra, India, which gave her deeper insight. Further her extensive travels across India gave her a wider experience with various tribes in the region which stretched from Gujrat in the west to the Sikkim and Nepal in the north.
