Prakash Bal Joshi

Prakash Bal Joshi  Curator Milind Sathe will present Prakash Bal Joshi\'s art works related with environment changes depicted in unique style. The event will coincide with the World Environment Day Paintings, ink-drawings and sketches by Prakash Bal Joshi, a Mumbai (India)-based artist, reflect a recurring theme—the transient nature of life and the Nature itself.    His ink or pen-on- paper sketches and drawings portray massive changes in the urban landscape brought on by development that reflect two self-contradictory movements—rise in material comforts and fall in values. Some of   them show in subdued hues human emotions like love and disillusionment while a few others simply convey the complications of human mind through a series of mazes.    Using oil on canvas, Joshi’s powerful brush strokes bring alive through abstract forms the subtle realities that lie behind the outer look of different objects like buildings, streets, trees, bushes, hills, lakes, rivers and the seas with humans and creatures populating these places. “For me, painting is a spontaneous process. I let my inner turmoil and the creative response it triggers guide my expressions on canvas. At the root of all this is the quest who I am, why I am here and where I am going,” he says
