He is a genuine, enigmatic living legend. His works have unmatched caliber of bringing him into limelight that he deserves. I have been writing about his works and I find myself into a mysterious world of colours creating a new magic consistently. My words dare to become a parable only due to his canvases. I insist everyone to enjoy his confetti of colours for personal relaxation.

The Unreleased Show of " M R DESHMUKH"....   

​

India owns a living legend. And I proclaim him to you with his exclusive glorious canvases from the new spectacle which was unreleased in Dec, 2021 at Jehangir, constrained due to pandemic. Prelude is an adorned pictorial fable of unorthodox paintings, which are his own beautiful dreams that are enlivened. 

​

Some 400 years ago, Voltaire had penned that, “Love is a canvas furnished by nature and embroidered by imagination. And, I agree strongly to this by seeing paintings of M. R. Deshmukh. His canvases are furnished by his love for nature. Silence of nature is a nutrition in which it grows and flourishes and we have seen enlightenment of soul happens in silence and Deshmukh’s paintings are enlightened by this silence and discipline of nature. Looking deep into his works, one may understand nature better. I did! Philosopher has his pen and a word to express but this philosopher painter has his colours to express the smiles of nature garnished by his lovely imaginative creativity.

His phraseology of painting has never been commercial rather has been authentic. Rain anticipated grey clouds, lush green trees and meadows, sparkly clean water, high mountains, deep dark valleys, appealing flora and fauna, simple walls, classy windows, romantic balcony these all play hide and seek with light and shadow. His providential insight on human figures appear fantasizing us. We see woman anatomy in embellished form of beauty. Also uncanny colours, compositions and strokes are inseparable casts of his emotive paintings. His approach of controlled application expounds his disciplined and honest personality. Sometimes we may also find tinges of striking strokes creating liveliness and motion in a scene. Oil colour or water colour doesn’t affair when it comes to his domination. Be his minimalistic exercises of colours or escalating an impasto, only illustrate the freedom he takes in conveying his mind on canvas.

 

His journey is all about carrying forward the legacy of true art.  His approach is always simple and eligible to understand because he create a sense of harmony and visual order to a layman witnessing divine joy. Reaching common man and spreading bliss that he has experienced while painting is above all censure from connoisseurs. Effortlessness makes him prevalent amongst his fans.

Prelude is just a teaser, his pictographic biography is yet to be released in series of exhibitions for his enthusiasts.  Stay tuned with Indian Topmost Gallery Art Affinity 6…
