Rodney Chang (Pygoya) (a well known cyber artist from Hawaii, U.S.A.)
"Your works show considerable excitement over the medium of digital art. Your energy as a retiree is intact, as suggested by the bright and luminous selection of digital palettes. There is also the evident spirituality, rhythms of dance and other Indian culture, magnified in the presence of your works. There is also a sense of family unity or the ideal of achieving such in these troubled sociological globalized times. You may be retired but obviously still very young at heart.

Startup graphic programs are obvious your first adventure into our digital art world. You are able to express self-ness beyond the limits of the software. However later I can see you ascended to higher more powerful tools and then captured the illusion (not to us artists of course!) of light, shadow and surface texture. Keep journeying in this direction and continue your unfinished tale of Indian life for us outside this geographical realm, so mythical to us foreigners. Through your art continue to visualize your personal vision of life in India but just as importantly, one artist's subjective feelings and love for his
subject."

Nemiraj Shetty (artist and art historian)
"Though computer is just a machine, for Vijay Bhai it is something more than that. For him it is not just moving the mouse and pressing the buttons to dabble and find something accidentally and automatically. His works are of clear-cut vision. A vision well planned and structured, derived out of great inner need, an internal urge. The colour, form, structure, composition - the prerequisites of a painting - find saturation in the works of Vijay Bhai. The basic design problems such as line, colour, form, shape, texture, and the rest are solved in the later day works. Image, treatment, application wise the body of works he has done can be categorised into a series of experiments with multi-dimensional tools available."

Jillian Fernandes (comment in guest book on one of the web sites)
"The subtlety coexisting with the potency in each and every piece that you have created is refreshingly unique. I haven't seen such inspiring art in a long time and quite frankly the exuberance you show through your work despite your age has had a dynamic effect on me. The aesthetics of our Indian heritage and the realities of life that you have shown invokes nothing but my respects to you."

Ingrid Kamerbeek (well known Bavarian digital artist)
"I like "Undersea" very much!!!! And I love your thoughts about life and art. You have your style and it's YOU. And it's not modest. Keep on creating."

Hohd. Haneef ( a visitor to Diara exhibition):
"Your work with computer is very challenging and has great depth. Your work at an early age when you were young is very good. I say, when there is art in your blood there no escape."

Atiya Amjad (art critic)
The spirit of art is a constant factor in our existence. From the dark recesses of ancient caves to plush galleries of our times, it has always managed to make its space in and around us. A figment of a child's imagination or a professional's sure strokes, the creative faculty in humans can activate any time irrespective of the medium applied. Therefore, one ought not to be surprised when the youth of our times investigate art of the middle ages or a septuagenarian employs a computer to create art. Practicing art at the age of 71, Vijay Bhai Kochar's is a case in point. His urge to express his innermost feelings, in fact, reminds us of no less than Rabindranath Tagore who took to painting in his 60s.
