Jagannath Panda

Jagannath Panda is an Indian artist, painter and sculptor from Gurgaon, Haryana, India.

Jagannath Panda was born in Kotilingi, a small town near Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India in 1970.

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.

[1] 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.
