Anushka Satyajeet Varekar – Sangli
She hails from Sangli and had her art education upto G.D. Arts followed by Diploma in Art Education at Kalavishwa Mahavidyalaya Sangli. Anushka Varekar has highlighted the subtle nuances of Rajasthani culture, heritage and social life prevailing there in her expressive style of realism. The Rajasthani culture, the people there, the expressions on their faces, their colorful attire, when they come out of their shells onto the canvas, captivates the mind. Looking at Rajasthan depicted through the eyes of a Marathi artist, one begins to feel the respectful nod given by Maharashtra’s culture to Rajasthani culture.
Santaji Chougale – Kolhapur
Santaji had his art education upto G.D. Art(Sculpture & Modelling) at Kalamandir Art College, Kolhapur. His works in bronze showcases the unique aesthetic norms and nuances associated with a peacock in its happy and joyful mood and enjoyment due to rains and the continuous downpour in rainy season. It also illustrates the elegance of joy and happiness expressed by the peacock in its joyous mood full of happiness and merriment. The sculptor seems to have created it relatively. The peacock’s spread plumage, its vastness, binds the eye somewhere. The peacock’s sharpness and the rhythmic connection in that sharpness are presented relatively by the artist. Overall, through this series of sculptures, the artist seems to have succeeded in expressing his personal feelings about Peacock to art lovers.
Yogesh Majgaonkar – Kolhapur
He hails from Kolhapur. Yogesh had his art education upto G.D. Art(Sculpture & Modelling) at Kalamandir Art College, Kolhapur. He had showcased his sculptures in many solo and group art exhibitions in Bombay Art Society, Gulbarga Academy of Art, Gulbarga, Lalit Kala Academy New Delhi etc. His sculptures in stone and mixed medium showing the subtle nuances of Apple, Strawberry, Tree and their elegant realistic norms in nature are really very artistic and unique in surface finishes textural peculiarities. He has focused on the need for conservational of nature wealth and its treasures and need to ensure preservation of the subtle nuances from the worldly Bards of pollution and urbanization.
