Aditya Pande is a Delhi-based artist whose style is playful where he puts layers after layers to arrive at the final art piece. But his works still tells poignant tales of history, myths, satire and sometimes math even. Aditya was born in Lucknow and grew up in Chandigarh in the 80’s till his family moved to Delhi in the 90’s. 'Chandigarh was a quiet toy town idyll that contrasted Delhi’s complexities and chaos. We are three brothers who had the privileges of a modest and happy childhood, now with very disparate but connected trajectories. I suppose we were encouraged to seek our interests, or were at least made to feel so and in many ways, there is a bit of that childhood that still finds expression in my art; a messy mix of the rock garden, Corbusier-Jeanneret, Panjab University academia, Sarkari confidence, Punjabi culture is certainly present in my work. However, that is a partial list only and not definitive in the sense that I continue to freewheel through life making sense of it all still in somewhat nonsensical ways.' More from him below.
