‘Echoes of Unfathomed Worlds’, artist Jagannath Panda’s latest show, currently on at the Vadehra Art Gallery in New Delhi, is a curation of 26 works that vary in mediums and scale and include a plethora of ideas in the visual narrative.
The name, ‘Echoes of Unfathomed Worlds’, evokes curiosity and excitement as it encompasses the known and the unknown. The artist’s curiosity is piqued not just by the world around us, but also the world that exists in all of us, that is invisible or undefined.
Born in Bhubaneswar in 1970, Delhi-based Panda’s artistic journey commenced with a Bachelor in Fine Arts at the BK College of Arts & Crafts in 1991, followed by a Masters from the Faculty of Fine Arts, MS University, Baroda. He followed it up with an MFA in sculpture from the Royal College of Arts, London, in 2002. The much-feted artist has participated in significant shows in India and around the world and the ability to evoke emotions through his art is his forte.
