Catalogue Note

Atul Bhalla's work deals with themes of nature, ecology and the preservation of natural resources. He focuses on the industrialization of areas of Delhi highlighting the plight of the Yamuna river, that is both a source of water but also a transporter of industrial waste. Through his images he portrays the day to day activities that take place along the banks of the river 'raising questions about the environmental effects of administrative policies that seem to be driven more and more by private economic agendas rather than public good.' (S. Sawant, Atul Bhalla, Anant Art Gallery, 2007)
