Rural art

Artist Venkat Raman Singh Shyam once worked odd jobs to get a square meal. Today, he paints modern Gond art that can be found at the Los Angeles Country Museum of Art, the National Gallery in Ottawa and the Queensland Art Gallery.

Sudam Bhau Chavan, 65, has been practising the traditional art of Bahurupi for more than 40 years despite his modest income of less than Rs 6000 per month.
