JAI MAHARASHTRA 

For all the talk about speaking Marathi , signage in Marathi , showing Marathi movies , very little has been done to promote Maharashtrian artists .

Wake up , Thackeray  Parivar !

  _

JAMAAT is taking the lead to host a show of only Maharashtrian artists , to coincide with May 1 , Maharashtra Day .

 We have shown artists from all over the country , but this show is focused on artists only  from Maharashtra .

 The list includes Krishna Pulkundwar , Manisha Patil, Ravi Mandlik , Sachin Jaltare , Shankar Kendale , Shubha Gokahale , Sujata Achrekar , Sunil Padwal , Pandurang Tathe , Yashwant Shirwadkar ,  

 They have different style ,  some are now based in different parts of India , but their roots , their origin , their inspiration , is from out fair state .

 Abstracts are done by Krishna , Ravi and  Pandurang.

Each one is distinctive . Krishna paints nature in the abstract form viewed from the geometrics of doors and windows in urban living 

Ravi is inspired by the mountain -scapes with srartling colours in the brilliant sunshine.

Pandurang focuses on dwellings done in vibrant colours.  

Figuratives are done by Manisha Patil , Sunil Padwal , Shubha Gokhale , Sujata Achrekar  

 Manisha paints simple family lives , with children playing .

Sunil pains uniquely on wood .

Shubha does a very interesting form of reverse painting on glass , inspired by puppets .

Sujata has a very interesting style which is layers on layers including screen printing , stencilling and then painting. The figures are very striking .

 Landscapes by Yashwant Shirwadkar 

  Yashwant paints landscapes using a palette knife and oils on canvas. Bold strokes , great texturing and subtle blending .
