Sherni Sher-Gil
Size: 4 x 4 ft
Sherni Sher-Gil is a tribute to the fearless spirit of Amrita Sher-Gil, a lioness who made her people proud with her groundbreaking art. This painting honors the strength and resilience of Punjabi women, who have long been the backbone of Punjab’s rich agricultural heritage.
For centuries, Punjab has thrived as a land of fertile wheat fields, where women played a pivotal role not only in nurturing the land but also in raising and strengthening their families. Sher-Gil, draped in a traditional phulkari dupatta, symbolizes this enduring power. The intricate embroidery of her dupatta, rich in color and culture, reflects the artistry and pride of Punjab, while the wheat fields echo the agricultural backbone that sustained the region for generations.
A nod to the past and the present, this tribute also acknowledges Parle G, a symbol of homegrown pride that predates the “Vocal for Local” movement. Just like the wheat that nourishes Punjab, Parle G has been a staple in every Indian household, representing resilience, simplicity, and a sense of belonging. Sher-Gil’s legacy embodies this same spirit—bold, nurturing, and fiercely connected to her roots.
Through this artwork, we celebrate both the iconic artist and the unyielding spirit of Punjabi women, whose strength has woven the fabric of Punjab’s history.
