The visual imagery of Jaganath Panda is deceptively simple, it comprises of linear drawing & a rendered form or two, which seem to float on the surface. His drawings are very realistic, yet he does not offer the veiwer a reference to its existence, or rather he doesn't recreate a sense of panorama in his paintings. At times he also employs the use of external material, such as silver foil, thread, tracing sheets, to stress upon the reality of the material. The role of color is limited though used effectively to highlight the form , it also sets off the drawings to their best advantage.

Jaganath's style of paintings suits well to his concerns, which are with his immediate surrounding, Orissa, the state he hails from. He is sensitive to the issues raised by, urbanization, politics. The calamity of floods which Orissa faced in the year 1999, resulted in a painting which immortalized the date "29th October", superimposed on a photocopy, of On kawara's exhibition room, wrapped in a transparent airmail. That's his style, he does not romantices the issues, he states it as objectively as possible. This objectivity can be traced back to On Kawara, whose concern was documentation ( to put it briefly) by the means of "dates", who inspires him a great deal. Figurative, but not narrative, seemingly direct yet laden with symbolism, such contradictory descriptive define the paintings of Jaganath Panda .

He now lives & works in Gurgaon.
