Jagannath Panda’s art is beyond realms of predictable vision

by Purtika Dua | The Hindu

Delhi-based artist Jagannath Panda is taking art lovers in the Capital on a journey into the natural and unnatural spaces that people create to co-exist with all living creatures, while also reflecting on the urban constructions that have taken over spaces. Derived from belief, culture and form, his imaginative canvasses use a deconstructive approach to better understand everyday living.

 

Panda’s abstract artworks are constructed like a collage with papier mâché, rice paper, rice weed, fabric, auto paint, plywood, and randomly salvaged items such as Lego and plastic toys from his son’s childhood or cutouts from almanacs, a gardening guide, old fabric and photographs.
