Catalogue Note

"Superficially, Subodh's art has taken the experience of India away from the dirty, crowded and noisy to the clean, sparse and sedate. While he has done so metaphorically, his choice of icons and materials and his strategy of approach have been anything but simplistic." (Peter Nagy quoted in Exh. Cat., Mumbai, Bodhi Art, Start. Stop, March 2007)
