At this point in my practice, I am involved in creating art that has subjects which are entangled with my current thoughts, energy, and time. I approach my piece with no regard for any pre-condition. Sometimes I have a lot of things to tell, in limited time, Or, I have little to say, with plenty of times. I enjoy the structure, the muscles, and movement, bending, twisting, and turning of the body forms. My subject has always been primarily the human form. My figures are not historically based nor do they have a social context. They are purely form; they are without telling of where they are from and why there are there, and when they are. The ideology behind this is neither constructive nor destructive. It's just as it is.
Prabin Badhia, a contemporary artist based in Emeryville, California, focuses primarily on the human form in his work. Born in India, he pursued formal art education, earning degrees from Berhampur University and the National Museum in New Delhi. Since 1999, Badhia has been living in Emeryville with his family, establishing himself as a significant presence in the local art community.
Badhia's work explores the human form with a focus on structure, muscles, and movement, creating figures that are "purely form" without historical context or social narrative. His artistic philosophy is evident in the dynamic compositions and bold color choices seen in his work. Over the decades, Badhia has built an impressive exhibition record spanning multiple continents, participating in international art events and symposiums in Paris, Italy, the UK, Dubai, Turkey, and Tunisia.
