BALA DATT PANDEY  in his own words 
ART FOR PURPOSE.. Art for me is a way of transforming the non-existent into something solid that can be easily perceived even by the layman... art is a self expression, a philosophy, an ideology and it reflects our internal soul without neglecting the events around us…we need to awaken to the problems of the society the hardships instead of painting utopian worlds which only deal with the physical aesthetic pleasure….


HUMANITY… But this universe is said to be a turbulent object and in its complexity is its beauty. The ecosystem maintains its own homeostasis and our attempt to simplify things may lead to the breakdown of the foundation stones of our world OUR CULTURE…I’m sure it wouldn’t be good to start all over again.


The Artist Notes
TURMOIL & PEACE AT THE HARD REALITY

If we pursue Globalization and forget our own heritage, our identity, this would mean that whatever we have earned by serious works of thousands of years by saints and sages would be trampled and dumped to a corner in this race of globalization. Globalization to some extent is a false notion to simplify things, to merge faith, cultures and in short humanity…But this universe is said to be a turbulent object and in its complexity is its beauty. The ecosystem maintains its own homeostasis and our attempt to simplify things may lead to the breakdown of the foundation stones of our world OUR CULTURE.. I'm sure it wouldn't be good to start all over again.

Art for me is a way of transforming the non-existent into something solid that can be easily perceived even by the layman.... art is a self expression, a philosophy, an ideology and it reflects our internal soul without neglecting the events around us.... we need to awaken to the problems of the society the hardships instead of painting utopian worlds which only deal with the physical aesthetic pleasure... 
It's in my nature to be with the masses to feel my sensory filaments throbbing in the society perceiving every small topic of which could be brought up in the societies favor........ how can I neglect the thousands of children dying of hunger people living like animals even after 60 years of independence. The basic problems are same as they were before and we fail to provide even food and education to our people. I never mean to deny the work in the field of modern art in our country but yes this is too a face of truth....
