Prabhakar Kolte (b. 1946)Acrylic on Canvas24 x 18 InchesSigned "Kolte" Lower LeftYear - 2020Prabhakar Kolte is known as a pioneer of abstract art in India, playing a key role in the post-independence movement toward non-representational expression. After graduating from the Sir J. J. School of Art, Bombay in 1968, he was influenced by Paul Klee’s intuitive and lyrical approach to abstraction. However, Kolte developed his own style, focusing on the meditative use of color, texture, and form. His paintings often feature layers of dripping paint that hint at architectural or landscape-like shapes. This artwork showcases his signature style, with bold drips and washes of orange, green, and black.For further information on the artist, click here.
