“I cherish memories arrested in space.” 

Girish Bhatt joined the newly established Faculty of Fine Arts in 1950. He came to Baroda to learn Ayurveda medicine but later joined the faculty under the guidance of Sankho Chaudhuri and N.S. Bendre. His sculpture practice has taken a variety of turns, focusing on different facets of modernism. The sculptors were experimenting not simply with materials and language, but also with what defines sculpture. To produce novel sights, new materials like debris, metal plates, and cement were investigated. Forms had a big role in the sculptures. He toyed with the themes and forms, making references to their local selves, experiences, and sentiments. The aesthetics and shapes of his works frequently evoke modern European sculptors like Archipenko, Henry Moore, Brancusi, and other constructivist and cubist artists, but their portrayal speaks to their particular cultures and identities. At that time, Baroda's general artistic practice pioneered modernism, which praised contemporary Indian art. 

He has participated in many solo and group exhibitions such as at Taj Art Gallery 1967, Jehangir Art Gallery 1965, and won First prize of the Gujarat State Lalit Kala Academy, Silver medal of the Indian Sculptural Association and several from Bombay Art Society, AIFACS and Kalidas Jayanti Samaroh.
