When she was young, Bhuri Bai would visit the local fairs that travelled to her village, and the colours she saw at these events inspired her to adopt a distinctively vibrant palette. One of the first women in her tribe to paint on paper and canvas, Bhuri Bai's works have been exhibited all over the world. A leading name in tribal Indian art, her works are vibrant and often depict the conflicting dynamics between men and women, and the relationship shared by men and animals in both rural and urban spaces.
Bhuri Bai's works have featured at various auctions.
