Prabhakar Pachpute (b. 1986; lives and works in Pune, India) works across a wide range of mediums, including drawing, painting, sculpture, stop-motion animation, and site-specific assemblage. He often constructs immersive, theatrical environments that use surrealist tropes to build complex characters - both within and outside their landscapes. Moving between the local and the global, Pachpute brings an investigative, socio-cultural, ethical, and empathetic lens to his practice, asking urgent questions about what it means to be human amid the unfolding crises of our time.
