About Nagesh Ghodke
Mumbai-born artist Nagesh Ghodke, a graduate of the Raheja School of Art, intricately weaves his childhood memories of village life into a compelling visual narrative. Drawing inspiration from the social fabric of rural India, Ghodke's acrylic on canvas paintings evoke both Mediterranean hills and the rustic charm of Indian villages. Uniform houses, meticulously stacked, stand as testaments to his upbringing. The deliberate monochromatic palette, shifting between warm reds and yellows to cold blues and greys, portrays the emotional nuances of rural existence. Ghodke's art not only captures the ever-changing nature that inspires him but also serves as a poignant commentary on the delicate balance between human existence and nature, urging viewers to reflect on the urgent need to preserve the sanctity of rural landscapes.
