‘In my recent works, I delve into the concept of formless forms. I believe that forms inherently create duality. The forms I create emerge from the depths of my subconscious, shaped by memories, learning, and experiences. Yet, I seek to transcend this barrier. I aspire to craft something that goes beyond the self—an absolute creation. I aim to bring forth a form that is entirely new, timeless, and untainted by ego. A form that is liberated—free even from the constraints of the very definition of ‘form.’ This is the essence of a formless form. Through my paintings, I aspire to soar, to become the soul itself, and ultimately, to dissolve into my art.’
—Pankaj Nigam (An artist’s voyage in the timeless time)
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, the BBC broadcast its review of Pankaj Nigam’s fusion art ‘Madhushala’. Since 1993, his art has made its way to at least 55 exhibitions at various art galleries in India and abroad.
