Collection: Landscapes

Liminal Drift explores the fragile space between observation and memory, where landscapes gradually dissolve into atmosphere and emotion. Rooted in experiences gathered through travel across India and abroad, the series reflects an ongoing search for the essence of place rather than its physical description. Light, colour, and subtle architectural traces become vessels of memory, allowing familiar scenes to transform into contemplative, dreamlike spaces. Balancing the vibrant intensity of Indian landscapes with the quiet restraint of European environments, these paintings invite viewers to inhabit the threshold between the seen and the remembered, where presence lingers long after place fades.

Some places in Konkan stay with you long after you’ve left them. This was one of those places. ln 2024 while working on a project, I came across this beautiful spot near Ratnadurg Fort in Ratnagiri and captured it, knowing that I wanted to paint it someday. while working on a series of seascapes, I revisited some of those references. What fascinates me about this location is how every incoming wave creates a new composition. Sometimes it is the movement of water over the rocks, sometimes the forms of the rocks themselves, and sometimes the subtle changes in light and colour. The same place offers something new every time you look at it. Through this series, I hope to explore the Konkan landscape more deeply while learning to observe and appreciate the small details that make each place unique

While exploring the coastline near Ratnadurg Fort, I became interested in the constantly changing relationship between water and rock. In this painting, the tide moves through narrow channels between the rocks, creating patterns that exist only for a moment before changing again. Through this work, I try to capture the quiet rhythm of the sea and the subtle details that make this landscape unique.

'Raan' - an ode to mother earth My visual art vocabulary has, through the years, been appreciated by many connoisseurs, and clientele alike. I have expressed it through a series of my sketches, paintings, and sculptures. This time around, I am displaying my works in a slightly different context. The accent this time stands inspired by the village folks, their dwellings, their farms, the crop harvest, and the elements of nature. Of course I have given them an appearance which would seem somewhat embellished, due to which I can project the aesthetic appeal I sense they possess. I am certain that the viewers will surely admire the amiability that lies within the paintings. In this series, the motivation behind my paintings comes from the title 'Raan' and all the contexts that derive from it. The word 'Raan' evokes great affection and is one that touches my inner feelings. I have since childhood lived and experienced the village life. There are many aspects of this rural life that strike a chord. For instance, the field, its pastures, the stones, boulders, the foliage, the flora; et al. I have grown up living among all these, in a natural ambience as it were. Obviously, farming is a motif that is so close to my heart. Today, although I lead a rather urban and civic life, there is no doubt that I would like to go back to farming sometime in the future. The childhood memories and experiences of everyone manifest themselves in their lives ahead. Farming as such, being entirely dependent on the vascillations of nature, is at the behest of elements such as the sunshine, the air and most importantly, the rains. Its varying moods affect goodly or badly depending on their intensity; consequently and crucially affecting the survival of the farmer. I have closely observed and experienced that this unpredictability does not affect as much any other constituent in the social strata, as it does the farmer. These vagaries of nature have coloured my life intensely. The core of my paintings hence has turned out to essentially be 'the pictures of a rural life and the farmer'. I have tried to impress in my paintings, the apparent seasonal changes in nature, and thereby, the changing hue of the soil. This shift in the hues of the soil mesmerizes me, and has influenced in developing the colour scheme of my works in this series. The style of my paintings and sculpture, with a certain tonal brightness, ought to be pretty familiar to my viewers. In the current display though, the colours are derived from influences such as the village turf, soil; with all its hues and textures. I eagerly hope that this transformation in the colour scheme will definitely connect with my viewers. I find myself always inclined to project in my works, human figures involved in their simple daily acts, with the backdrop of nature. There is a modesty, a cadence in the actions of these human activities, and a grace in the elements of human life, which I have aspired to portray in my current exhibition. I sincerely desire, that you will connect pleasantly and whole heartedly with the glimpses of glorious memories of my life in a hamlet. Anand Panchal

This artwork belongs to the “Godhadi Series” and specifically to its subseries focusing on “Global Monuments”. It reinterprets the Statue of Liberty — a universal emblem of freedom and democracy — through the traditional craft of the godhadi, a hand-stitched quilt made by elderly women in Indian households. The quilt, often composed of worn-out yet memory-rich fabrics, represents resilience, nurturing care, and inherited strength. By clothing the Statue of Liberty in godhadi-patterned fabric, the painting bridges the global ideal of liberty with feminine labor, ancestral wisdom, and domestic artistry. The background — merging the New York skyline with Indian textile motifs and symbolic patterns — evokes a conversation between East and West, tradition and modernity, the monumental and the handmade. Here, Liberty is not just a statue, but a stitched spirit — crafted by the hands of many women, across cultures and generations.

The wisdom mantra presented utilizes the layered, multi-angled philosophy of origami to shatter traditional boundaries. It prompts a vital modern question: when we fold away the noise of the outside world to 'see, hear, and speak no evil,' are we achieving a higher state of spiritual mindfulness, or are we simply hiding within the safety of our own constructed boxes?

Nights along the river are engulfed by a feeling of nothingness. Yet, the circle of life regenerates itself for the day to come.
