Bala, the artist's first major monograph to be produced, is reflective of over two decades of work by Alwar Balasubramaniam. This publication reveals the extent of Bala’s work and the range of ideas, medium, and craft he has explored. Along with vivid, full-page illustrations, this publication includes an in-depth conversation between Bala and the Senior Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at the Phillips Collection, Vesela Sretenović. The publication is introduced by a text by Deepak Talwar reflecting on their decades-long relationship.
