Note :
Born in Nerur Par, Maharashtra, in 1946, Prabhakar Kolte received his Diploma in Painting from the Sir J.J. School of Art, Mumbai, in 1968. He later returned to his alma mater as a professor, serving from 1972 to 1994. A leading figure among Indian abstract painters of his generation, Kolte is known for his deep engagement with the intangible aspects of visual expression. Eschewing representational imagery, he emphasises colour, form, and gesture, using dynamic brushstrokes and layered compositions to create emotionally resonant works. Kolte has exhibited widely in India and internationally. His notable group exhibitions include Art Mosaic – Celebration of Calcutta’s Tercentenary (Calcutta and Mumbai, 1990), Wounds at CIMA Gallery (Calcutta, 1993), Parallel Perceptions at Sakshi Gallery (Mumbai, 1993 and 1994), and Six Indian Painters, curated by Geeta Kapur, held in Totograd, Yugoslavia, as well as Ankara and Istanbul (1985). He also participated in Three Artists in Hong Kong (1995) and showed his work at the Galerie Foundation for Indian Artists in Amsterdam (1996).
