ALOK BAL (1969)

Alok Bal was born in 1969 in Orissa. He studied BFA (1998) and Post-Diploma in Painting (2001)at the Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda.Bal generally likes figurative work.His work talks about relationships between people and their surroundings and this has been the most comprehensive way to express his thoughts. HIs art has always been realistic, as realistic as life can be. Bal’s process of creation begins with a build up on his ‘idea’; his work comes from within him and is an integral part of him. A lot of sketches and drawings precede the actual painting. He says, “I am flexible to all themes, which is the reason I need time to put my reactions on the canvas. I observe and absorb a lot. Wherever I go, unconsciously or intentionally, I take in my surrounding, the people I meet. There are things that touch me from these daily interactions and as an artist this is what figure in my work. One thought leads to another. So does my painting. There is a connection and a progression. Though I may experiment with the surface quality and images, the underlying thought is same in all my work.” The artist lives and works in Vadodara.
