byMahua Art GalleryGallery at Sadashiva Nagar, BengaluruView full gallery

The bull is a powerful, recurring motif in Indian art, symbolizing strength, divinity, and life. This collection features works by artists who capture the animal's energy in their own unique styles.

H.R. Das's iconic Bull Series is known for its warmth and joyous energy. This painting, with its bright orange background and playful figures, is a celebration of life and vitality.

This piece from Harish Bhoyar's 'Bull Series' uses a fiery red background to emphasize the animal's power. The artist's stylized rendering captures the bull's graceful form and captivating beauty.

The 'Bull Series' is a recurring theme that many of my collectors follow. This particular piece by Sunil Sarkar captures the animal's raw power and grace with incredible economy of line, showcasing how a simple drawing can convey immense energy.

This bronze sculpture by P. Elanchezhiyan is a fantastic study of a bull in motion. The artist has masterfully captured the animal's muscular form and powerful forward momentum, making it a perfect 3D addition to the Bull Series.

About this collection

The Bull series in our collection avoids a single style, showcasing the range of Indian contemporary art. You will find the joyous energy of H.R. Das's painted forms sitting alongside the raw, muscular weight of P. Elanchezhiyan’s bronze sculptures. When selecting a piece for your home or office, consider the physical presence of a sculpture versus the vibrant color play of the canvases. I often guide collectors to consider lighting and wall space before deciding on a piece from this series.

The bull is a primal symbol in Indian iconography, representing both vitality and stability. At Mahua Art Gallery, I have worked with artists who interpret this figure in vastly different ways, allowing for a diverse range of aesthetic choices.

H.R. Das brings a warmth and decorative quality to his paintings that works exceptionally well in living rooms, while Harish Bhoyar leans into intense color fields that demand more attention. If you prefer line work, Sunil Sarkar’s pieces offer an economy of motion that highlights the tension and grace of the animal. For those seeking three-dimensional form, P. Elanchezhiyan’s bronze sculptures, created through the lost-wax casting method, provide a tactile, enduring presence.

Whether you are looking for a statement canvas or a tabletop bronze, there are technical considerations. For our canvas works, we use archival materials and ensure professional stretching on treated pine wood bars. The bronzes are mounted on stable marble or wood bases to ensure safety. If you are unsure how these pieces might fit into your current interior, we offer digital visualization and home viewing within Bengaluru to help you make an informed decision before purchase.
