Abhijit Kumar Pathak
Imagine looking at a canvas of sheer abstraction. Dots and lines and debris seem to brim and float. You gaze at it for a long time and then you want to close your eyes. As you close your eyes, colours, countless shapes, and images rise to the surface. Furthermore, you  are consumed by all sorts of sensations, as if you are listening to music that you’ve never encountered. What is overriding is an indescribable sense of tranquility  and comfort, as if passing time carries you  to a peaceful and beautiful pastoral where you can sink into an abyss of quietude .
Abhijit Kumar Pathak is a visual artist, trained at Banaras Hindu University & Jamia Millia Islamia New Delhi. He won a national award (2010) when he was only a post graduate student of Jamia Milia University. Pathak is an abstractionist with passion and deep conviction. His works are colour fields of infinitude in which we do not see a definite sense of process. But there is a deep understanding of the mystic rules of the  beginning, middle and end; there are deeper truths of the  variation of the principle of  fragmentation and fragility in a world which begins with the gravity of the earth.
As if he is an archaeologist who lives in the summation of his excavations, this young artist who hails from Varanasi is a practitioner of the deeper tunes of resonance that build and breathe within the windows of his inner reservoir. Earth colours, pigments, Acrylic colours, fabric, charcoal, and colour pencils - it is free association from the start to the finished state, kept alive by an intersection of physical experience, individual feeling and ideas of the deeper truths of living and reality .But there is also great lyricism. You won’t be surprised to know that he is a trained tabla player. He lives and works in Delhi.
