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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe 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.

Over the last 25 years, it has transformed primarily into a visual art tradition handed down from generation to generation among the Patuas of Bengal, and women of the community also began to have more access and participate in producing patas.

The style started in the town of Sri Nathdwara ,where the main temple of Srinathji is situated. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe subjects of Pichwai are centered around the activities of Srinathji Bava and display him in his various shringaars, as per the season and festivals. The bhava and devotion to the deity remains primary in its translation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe art style travelled to various other schools across Rajasthan with their own characteristics and nuances. However, we will study the Nathdwara school of art, from where the culture actually began.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the artist:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eShri Bhawani Shankar Sharma is a senior generational Pichwai artist.
