Untitled

From a single colour, which dominates a large part of this Untitled painting, a riot of bright colours shines, glistening at the viewer, telling an untold story of what may have been hidden underneath. This is precisely Prabhakar Kolte’s strength—to ‘immediately cover up any identifiable image, making sure that my forms would function as pure colour in space’. Influenced by Paul Klee and even recognised as, in his own words, ‘India’s Paul Klee’, Kolte creates a synergy of colour and texture in this work.
