Event Description : Anubhav Nath- Director of Ojas Art Gallery presents "Message from the Trees" a group show of painting relating to Trees by Bhajju Shyam, Mayank Shyam , Ram Singh Urveti , Durga Bai &  Subash Vyam and Abhishek Singh

An exhibition that brings together group of well known artists, that the Gallery has worked with in the past and have these artists, known to possess the inherent ability to magically transform simple subjects like the trees to a sacred being, this they can achieve by approaching their work with a unique language of their own, a diligence, their unique tribal legends adding a mystical hue or may be a tone seeped in their rich heritage or the knowledge of mythology.

All artists in this show belong mainly to the Gond tribal community, barring, one, being Abhishek Singh, a well known illustrator artist, with an exceptional talent of relating stories from the Hindu Mythology.

Speaking about the exhibit, Anubhav Nath, Director of OJAS Art Gallery, said, “Undoubtedly, the environment is extremely important. "A Message from the Trees," has some poignant artworks that we need to look at it as a wake-up call; before it's too late. All Gallery visitors will be given seeds to plant, to help. Increase greenery."

The artists Bhajju Shyam further adds, “‘Ped Jeevan hain’ -Trees are life and we cannot survive without them. Its better we listen to them before it’s too late, that’s why through art we try to communicate the importance, of the trees. In Gond art we tell our age old stories, wildlife, rituals, that involve and symbolize trees.”

The artists are all strongly connected to the trees, making them in a way a messenger for the trees , sensitizing them to the environment around us an to respect the importance of trees. This is evident from their elaborate, detailed depiction of trees that are symbolic of the messages or stories that their work unfolds.
