The artwork shows Adi Shakti, the ‘primal energy’. The figures holds different objects in each hand, as animals accompany the central figure. Their hair is matted and spread like a halo. The characteristic Gond patterns run across the the various figures. A concept in Hinduism that represents the primordial, supreme feminine energy or power, often associated with the goddess Durga, Parvati, or Kali. The term "Adi" means "primordial" or "original," and "Shakti" refers to the divine feminine energy, the power or force that drives the universe. Together, Adi Shakti signifies the source and origin of all creation, a cosmic force that embodies both creation and destruction.

VENKAT RAMAN SINGH SHYAM Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh

Perhaps few can pen down their life’s work, and even fewer who can draw it. Venkat Raman Singh Shyam has achieved both. With his unique totemic style of painting which Hervé Perdriolle, an eminent art critic, had called “entirely free from academism yet surprisingly mature and self-assured.” Venkat Shyam trodded the path that his uncle Jangarh Singh Shyam had paved. Born in 1970, he comes from the Pradhan Gond community where he learned the art of murals, etchings, mixed media, and later even animation.
He is a recipient of the ‘Rajya Hasta Shilpa Puraskar’ and has exhibited in India as well as abroad such as in the exhibition Painted Songs & Stories, curated by John H. Bowles in 2010 in the U.S.A. His works are currently in the collection of Philadelphia Museum of Art.
