"Suprematism is at its best here... as Malevich deconstructed art itself. The delicate links between words or signs and the objects they denote to achieve a 'zero degree' of art are unravelled in the connections made for art's sake. I wonder if transrational poetry has been Abhay K.’s source of inspiration as well. I was intrigued, and to put it in the words of El Lissitzky, "ultimate illusion of irrational space" posited alongside spiritual and spatial understanding of the third dimension" magnifies Abhay K.’s outlook. It illuminates the urge for expansion of art practice, ideation, perspectives and conviviality. Paradigm of planetism, Vasudhaiva Kutambakam are not only tropes for art exhibits but translate into a worldview that Abhay K. inhabits and enables others to envision. The influence of the place and the need to dwell in art to unify national ideologies and respect their diversities is much respected. His painting 'Global Round Table' also particularly piqued my interest. In the Kantian way, Abhay K. exudes a 'universal state of human' kindness. For a diplomat with such high ideals, the national consciousness and representation are certainly in able hands.”— YAMINI DAND SHAH, Curator, Research Repository, Asian Heritage Foundation
In his art works Abhay K creates an allegory of planetary consciousness -Emblems of the unity of the peoples. He draws images of apritual unity. A futuristic reworking of figurative and suprematic motives.
