STATEMENT: Every man and woman, whether formally educated or not, has a psyche with a multi splendoured and variegated content, where myth, magic, mystic feelings, fantasy and surreal visions are mixed up with realism, rational thought and metaphysical reflections; and even the spiritual state of mind. We ask the question: What is Ultimate Reality? For me such a question is not a question of What but of How: how we live, act and react. And with this our vision of art is intimately connected... RESPONSE, Ganesh Haloi, 1995.
