Panchali Sheth is a Sydney based contemporary artist. Her layered and textured paintings draw on her Indian heritage and experiences of straddling both Eastern and Western culture. She attempts to merge the structural niceties of the human body found within Western traditional art history with the ornate and mystical tendencies commonly embedded within Indian art history. Panchali’s technique is primal and very impulsive. She sees painting as not just a medium but also a malleable instrument, which allows her to express beliefs and forms that are currently trapped in her mind
