Durga Bai Vyam
As a child, Durga Bai would often accompany her mother in making dignas on the floor and colourful patterns on mud walls. “We would do new ones every few weeks to decorate our homes,” says the artist. Her foray into canvas and paper happened much later, after marrying Subhash Vyam in 1986. She moved to Bhopal, where she began working with her cousin Jangarh Singh Shyam. In the exhibition, we see Durga, 40, painting stories from the animal kingdom. If the series Elephant Family has the mammal as the protagonist, in Fireflies and Cow, we see how a firefly helps an old lady become friends with those who inhabit the jungle.
