Art and language share an unspoken connection. Pankaj explored this connection in the most novel way. He kick-started is journey by showcasing a unique experiment that combined his art with the work of fiery poet, Harivansh Rai Bachchan’s Madhushala. In 1992, B.B.C. broadcast its review of Pankaj Nigam’s fusion art Madhushala. Since 1993, his art has made its way to at least 42 exhibitions at various art galleries in India and abroad. But this journey is not over
Pankaj’s musings today are more about one’s inner quest, about the search of one’s own Budhdha, one’s journey from within; A state of inner bliss where you feel the eternal light within the ocean of conscience. Perhaps his close connections with poetry, theatre, communist movement and social causes in the past have brought him to a point of reflection where he is seeking answer to all this within his soul.
About one of his paintings titled ‘The Last One’, Pankaj shares his point of view; “Keep them close to your heart…your unsung acts of valor, dreams, and values. You be the light when there is dark. You stand strong when faith shatters. No matter if you are THE LAST ONE to assure; that it’s still growing in your heart. You be the hope.”
As quoted in ‘The Telegraph’, “Pankaj Nigam’s creations are a fusion of art and poetry, freedom and conformity, empathy and expression. Mainly articulating human feelings and desires, his works are introspective pieces that take the viewer on to a journey of self-discovery and realization”
