"The title of this show comes from the title of one of my paintings in the show. In this particular painting I have addressed the notion of the three worlds, 

a notion that shaped much of my worldview while I was growing up. The interest in these three worlds/spaces can be seen as a continuation of my long 

standing interest in the question of space and its relationship vis-a-vis object, not merely in formal terms but with all its complex historical, cultural and 

political implications. Many of my earlier works also try to address this relationship in various ways. The group of work displayed in the present show 

extends this exploration through attempting to look at the complexity of this relationship in the present time."  

-Lokesh Khodke

“Lokesh’s complex journey through the geography of contemporary (cultural) politics reveals multiple levels and layers of spaces and territories and 

identifies the inscriptions that constitute the limits of this (discursive) geography. He detects the bricks on which all these walls are constructed in order

to expose the fact that the genesis of the modernist nation of ‘pure Art’ has to be traced back to the Brahminical concept of purity (in the Indian context).

In that sense, even though many matters still remain unresolved in terms of articulation his works are complex cultural essays on social hierarchization 

and they doubtlessly contribute to the democratic impulses of our systemic and everyday being and becoming.”
