Life
Jagannath Panda was born in Kotilingi, a small town near Bhubaneswar, Odisha in 1970.[1] His father was a temple priest. After completing his Bachelor in Fine Arts at the BK College of Art and Crafts, Bhubaneswar, he moved to Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, Vadodara to complete his master's in sculpture. On receiving Japan Foundation scholarship, he joined the Fukuoka University of Education, Japan as a research fellow, studding there during 1997-1998. In 2002, he graduated MA in sculpture at the Royal College of Art, London.[2][3][4]
Panda lives in New Delhi, India.[1]
Style
Panda's work, writes Sundhya Walther, "combines influences from Odissi artistic traditions with images and contexts from his adopted home, Delhi. His pieces are concerned with the daily experiences of modern life in India, but he imbues these representations with a utopian sensibility, expressed through a deliberate beauty that eschews much of the darkness usually associated with contemporary representations of urban life in India, in visual art and in literature."[5]
