- Note
- Bal Chhabda was born in 1923 in Pakistan. A self-taught artist, Chhabda started as a filmmaker but gave it up to start his own art gallery in Mumbai, Gallery 59. His gallery showcased many mainstream artists like M.F. Husain, Tyeb Mehta, Krishen Khanna. His works appear abstract but on closer observation have distorted forms and shapes that form an intriguing visual scheme which is interplayed with colour and texture. His works are also known for their intimate and expansive spaces with lyrical dispositions. He has participated in several exhibitions in India and abroad including Salon de la Jeune Peinteure, Paris and Tokyo Biennale, 1960. He received the Governor's award, one of the three major awards, at the Tokyo Biennale in 1961. He has also participated in the exhibition, Seven Indian Painters at Gallerie Le Monde de U Art, Paris, 1994.
