Gallery G is proud to present Chromatic Rhythms, a solo exhibition of paintings by renowned
abstract artist Prabhakar Kolte. For the first time in Bengaluru, Kolte brings his mesmerising
abstract works to the city, offering art enthusiasts a unique opportunity to experience the poetic
visual language that has made him one of India’s leading contemporary artists.
Prabhakar Kolte, often referred to as the “Paul Klee of India,” is a master of abstraction, whose
works speak through vibrant, rhythmic layers of colour and texture. His work transcends the
boundaries of representation, drawing viewers into a contemplative journey of discovery. In
Kolte’s paintings, colour is not just applied to the canvas but imbued with emotion, reflecting the
ever-changing landscape of the human psyche. Each brushstroke carries a rhythm, like a poem
or a musical composition, evoking the shifting moods and colours of life itself.
The title Chromatic Rhythms aptly captures the essence of this body of work. Kolte’s carefully
selected colour palette, often inspired by the natural world, pulsates with energy and movement.
The canvases are a meditative reflection on the artist’s internal world, revealing themselves
slowly, like the unfolding of a poem. This visual poetry resonates with a harmony akin to
Tchaikovsky’s delicate piano compositions, mirroring the changing seasons and the vastness of
nature.
His abstract works reveal a deep sense of contemplation, likened to gazing through a window
that frames the infinite meditations of nature. Through layers of thick and textured paint, Kolte
navigates the complexities of inner tranquillity and life’s pandemonium, creating works that are
at once soothing and dynamic.
Kolte’s innovative use of “weathering” techniques on the canvas, coupled with his mastery of
abstraction, creates a sense of time and space in flux, where every element on the canvas
holds deeper meaning. His work captures the essence of a meditative journey, inviting viewers
to pause, reflect, and explore the possibilities of abstract expressionism.
