ANAND  PANCHAL

  derives his inspiration from nature infact from the by gone era of Romantic where nature is idealized, however he places his focus on human forms on the threshold of promise, ambiguity and uncertainty.

  His teenaged cowhands with large lamp like eyes stare at us filled with hope and yearning, as if puzzled over the unknown they confront life with raised heads and young but strong shoulders.

  His portrayal of young girls as purely a woman child with traces of akwardness make them vulnerable yet endearing. A quality that lingers even when slender adolescents turn into blossoming young women

  Keeping his colours clean primary, his lines bold and firm, human form is what Panchal extols and invests with a robust energy whether its young girls bound by the sisterhood of a shared destiny or mother and child relationship.....carrying in his consiousness with him the roots and aspiration  that rural people of the surrounding village hold dear to them.

  Panchal invests his boys and young men with the same gentle and noble force that his female characters carry, their smooth faces and attenuated limbs are not very different form their female counterparts. He features the cow and the goat as symbols of procreation, birth, sustenance and goldiness.....
