Horse Painting(EXPRESSIVE) By World Famous Artist Dinkar Jadhav

Painter Dinkar Jadhav has established himself as an artist who dares to walk on path less trodden. His journey to these romantic yet challenging places of creative excellence began with the ASHWA CHITRAMALA (the horse series!) few years back, which met with success and admiration equally! Having invested corpus invaluable hours, He has Resurrected his swift horses Flaming with Novelty an a companied and new form of muscularity, the Bull. There was sheer anguish and fierce passion in his earlier horse paintings which exploded through the colors and fearless strokes on the canvas.

“I was born into an humble family that hails from Jadhavwadi - a tiny village in Pune District, in the State of Maharashtra, India. As a child, most of my toys were earthen objects - this connection with the Earth was to be a continuous source of inspiration for me in the future,” says Dinkar Jadhav.

Born in 1973, Dinkar Jadhav received a General Diploma in Art in 1994 and an Art Teacher Diploma from the Abhinav Kala Mahavidyalaya in Pune in 1995.

Jadhav works mainly in impasto and his style is heavily influenced by the landscape paintings of J.W. Turner. Nature is Jadhav's primary source of inspiration and the play of light and shade in the natural world is constantly represented in his compositions. “I paint objects as patches of colour, but the forms are abstract. To me, this abstraction is creativity. Nature provides me with inspiration to express my inner vision, which I feel is art. The artist in me derives immense satisfaction when I paint this way,” says the artist about his approach to art.

In 2008, Jadhav’s works were presented in the solo exhibition, 'Creative Trio', at the Nehru Center, Mumbai. Jadhav has also shown his work in solo exhibitions at Art Desh Gallery, Mumbai, in 2007; and India Art Gallery, Pune, in 2003. He has also participated in several group shows in Mumbai and Pune.

In 1995, Dinkar Jadhav was awarded the State Arts Award for Portrait Painting.
