One day, Musa sets off alone to collect wood from the forest near his home. Suddenly, he hears a deafening noise and is overcome with terror. Was it the sound of a wild boar? A whole herd of wild boars? Or something even worse? Bhajju Shyam, renowned Gond artist from India, conjures up a haunting world of village and forest, which captures a child’s inner world of fear and foreboding. His earthy imagination and pitch perfect images capture what it means to be afraid, and how one emerges from this state.

Artist and designer Andrea Anastasio was born in Rome and studied Philosophy, Asian studies, and Street Theatre, before going on to start a very successful design practice. Andrea’s connection to India is a long one, going back to 1991 when he began researching rural architecture, folk art and religion. He now regularly commutes between India and Italy.
Bhajju Shyam is widely accepted as the finest living Gond tribal artist in India. Bhajju’s intricate and colorful work is well known throughout India and has been exhibited in the UK, Germany, Holland and Russia. Alone in the Forest is Bhajju’s seventh book with Tara, and his fourth as a solo artist. From the walls of his tribal village home to international acclaim, Bhajju’s has been an incredible creative journey.
