STRONG FEMINISM

Pravin Utge maneuvers his brush to give voice to his figurative vocabulary that draws from the Rajasthani miniature tradition, portraying dreamy figures in poetic surroundings. The woman, to Utge, symbolizes ‘plenty’; her abundance can easily be recognized in his preference to render her in the various forms of generous Hindu Goddesses such as Saraswati and Lakshmi. The elongated, half-opened eyes of these iconic figures, like just-opened buds of elegant flowers, bring a meditative quality to his paintings.

Utge’s choice of colors is equally expressive. The soft supple skin of his subjects varies from a pale pink to a light brown, while his backgrounds are rendered in vivid jewel-tones. Utge’s potent imagery, together with his effectively chosen palette, offers his viewers compositions that are energetic yet sensitive.
Pravin Utge’s style of art is contemporary. He practices modern art and celebrates woman power. An astute painter combined with detailed training makes him a veteran in his field. Pravin has been trained from the Bharati Kala Mahavidyalaya, Pune where he successfully completed G.D Art (Painting and Drawing) and diploma in Art Education. He has been part of several exhibitions and events across the country.

‘I believe in the supreme power of womanhood. Nature herself has blessed the fairer sex with immense potential and power. Hence, as a painter, I choose to pay tribute to the power, grace, beauty, complexity and variance that make up a woman of substance. ‘
