Considering Art Podcast – Hardeep Pandhal, multi-media
Hardeep Pandhal creates fantasy worlds centred on drawing in which he tackles challenging contemporary issues with a slice of humour. In this episode, he talks about his family background in Birmingham as the son of two Sikh parents, the racial prejudice he suffered, the influence of video games and digital media on his art, collaborating with his mother in textile work, how his biography became integral to his work, how he chose his avatar as a character called Sepoy Man and the members of his fantasy world he calls the Pintooverse.
