13th – 24th Feb. 2017: Pradarshak presents Solo Exhibition by Manish Bobade
Young artist
Manish Bobade shows a marked preoccupation with pets and memories from his
childhood. Expressing himself in the semi-abstract genre, his paintings on the
series “my pet” includes imagery of the dog, cow, and goat and in some
instances, birds.
Realism meets the
stylized as Manish periodically revisits his love for animals, especially dogs;
and has developed a distinct texture that sets his subject apart. Clean backdrops,
deep hues and distinct moods characterize his paintings, where at times, he is
the protagonist.

Single colours like
olive green, aquamarine blue, golden yellow or deep crimson offset the animals
that are at times depicted in the photorealistic style; and at others with
elongated bodies, appearing almost surreal.
