Through this, Bhunkal aims to examine how our senses—sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell—work together to shape our understanding of the world. The project also questions whether reality is universally shared or experienced differently by individuals.

Atul Bhunkal

Atul, born in India and currently residing in the UK, is an artist deeply engaged with exploring the question, “What is real?” His practice is a journey from objectivity to subjectivity, connecting the soul and supersoul. Rooted in idealism, Atul’s work reflects his spiritual experiences and emphasizes the role of spirituality in addressing societal and personal challenges.

Through metaphysical questions and sweet satire, he critiques rigid social norms and encourages introspection. Atul’s art often uses performance as a medium to connect physical and metaphysical realms, where he channels genuine emotions to create honest and impactful work.

Currently, he is working on projects such as Unanswered and Realizing the Reality of Real, focusing on themes like perception and reality. Atul believes art is a tool for questioning and connecting, inspiring others to think deeply about themselves, society, and the world around them.
