L. Anand Patole comes from Mumbai, India where he studied for four years at art school, and subsequently two years at the New York School of Visual Arts. Settled in New York (Manhattan), he shows his works at the JM Gallery on 57th street regularly. Anand, one of the surviving twins, also has twin talents: painting and drumming. He says, he beats the tabla drums while the paint is drying, and has performed with professional musicians visiting New York.

This is what Jay Fillan of the Bay News Of Brooklyn, New York says about Anands work of the 70s.

Futurists have been saying for the last 20 years that the spread of technology from West to East would result in a return current of Eastern culture flowing West. Out of this spread of cultures will come a new planetary culture, it is said, a fusion of Western science and Eastern spiritualism. Mr. Patoles art is a mixture of Classical Indian and Modernist Western. The style is classic in the sense that it communicates with classical Eastern symbols against the cubist abstract plane. His techniques are done in the style of temple stone rubbings on stone-like painting surface making them look like centuries old metallic plates excavated from the Earth.

"Painting to me is a spontaneous play with colors entering into a state of being in which creation takes over the creator, unconscious takes over the conscious, no mind takes over the mind. - L. Anand Patole
