My works can be today appreciated all over the world directly and through top art galleries
and designers from all four metros of this country. I spend hours interacting with top art
galleries, designers, Page 3 people giving and taking feedback, which has helped me become a
national artist who has now gained footage in the international arena. My work was recently
very much appreciated by famous artist M. F. Hussain on his last visit to Satguru’s and
well known designer Jogi panghaal.
I, Sushil Sakhuja, a self made artist, working in Tribal area with tribal people with
Traditional arts. But for me “Art is more of Passion than Business”. I have made
bronze my medium. Bastaar Art is gets its name from the tribal village of Bastaar. Recently I
received the top recognition in the world sculptors workshop held in Kunming, China in 2005,
where I made my country proud by making headlines in the electronic and print media of
China.
Coming from a transport business family, it was not easy to deviate in to this world of art,
where financial security was not guaranteed at that stage. For the family it was like leaving
home and going to the woods. Many a times, as in life, “seeming mistakes” prove to
be breakthroughs.
My inspiration came from the tribal and their activities around me whom I made the subject
matter. Today, I eat, drink, sit and work with Tribal and Tribal sculptures. I just convey
what I see and feel and rest is of course is history.
My motivation and subject matter evolve intuitively as I sculpt. The final art comes forth
from the realms within which I guess are responses to my myriad surroundings, past, present
and future. I prefer to leave a certain element of surprise or mystery, not fill in all the
blanks or complete the sculpture, thereby engaging the viewer’s imagination and allowing
them to get involved in the process.
Emotions get involved into the work to such an extent that sometimes it becomes difficult to
part with my creations. But one has to keep o growing creating better than the best.
Today when I work, I work more for my brethren and the people of Bastar. My aim is to put
Bastar art on the world map for its sculpture pieces. Bastar has given me so much that
today it has become a moral as well as a social responsibility to see that lot of the
people are improved.
I am an artist with a difference, who moves from one tribal house to another, giving the
tribal art ideas, inputs and their quota of work, creating out new master pieces from time to
time, thus becoming a medium of interaction between the urban and tribal art community,
thereby being successful in creating a market for my art.
I have always expressed myself artistically. Whether sculpting, singing, playing the tendor,
designing artifacts, doing up peoples interiors or just being crafty. It is a soul ex-pression
for me and am blessed that my work speaks to others at their own level. I am grateful to be
able to share my offerings with the universe.
I want to be a futurist for Bastar to-day. Today, I personally, feel “Thinking in the
future tense is a mandatory skill in today’s fast forward world. Today I have already
planned for Bastar for the next 3 years
