The subject matter for many of Pyne's works stems from a subconscious reservoir of images and memories that coalesce in various combinations to create poignant images saturated with magic and mystery. "What gives Pyne's work a distinctiveness is the artist's involvement with his art. His life, his world, indeed his whole being is focused on this act of creation. He is most at home with his own inner world of darkness and light from which emerges the strange forms. The canvases are a reflection of this all-absorbing interior life...Here a rag doll or a toy horse has a life of its own and in combination with human figures convey with poignance the vulnerability and resurgence of the human spirit." (E. Datta, Ganesh Pyne: His Life and Times, CIMA Gallery, Calcutta, 1998, p. 17.)
