2007

About the Item

Prabhakar Kolte - Untitled - 39 x 16 inches (unframed size) Acrylic on Canvas Inclusive of shipment in a roll form. Cityscape in bands of color, Modern Indian Artist, strong influence of Paul Klee by abstract Artist Prabhakar Kolte. Kolte's abstract layering with paint echo cityscapes where the signs and textures reveal his modernist consciousness. Bands of color juxtaposed against each other create bold ascensions and recessions. Style : The early work of Prabhakar Kolte shows the strong influence of Paul Klee, the Swiss artist and teacher whose childlike figures belie the sophistication of his richly textured surfaces. Indeed, Klee`s influence was felt by many of Kolte`s classmates studying at the J.J. School of Art in the late 1960s. Kolte`s debt to Klee can be seen in his technique of weathering his stronger colors, adding touches of white to age the effect of an otherwise bold hue. His early canvases are characterized by a single, dominant color in the background, on which lighter and more complex forms, both geometric and organic, are placed. On returning to the canvas, he sought to "immediately cover up any identifiable image, making sure that my forms would function as pure colour in space." His most recent works show a glossier, more finished approach to his early themes in paintings. The strong ground color remains, but this time both it and the forms overlaid onto it retain a crispness in line and color: the "weathering" inherited from Klee has dropped out in favor of more finished - and thus more abstracted - fields of color. About the Artist : Born : 1946 in Maharashtra. Education : He received his diploma in painting from the Sir J.J. School of Art, Mumbai in 1968. He later joined Sir J. J. School of Art in 1972 and taught for 22 years till he retired in 1994.
