Kamlakar Dixit, a 75-year-old self-taught artist, is set to exhibit approximately 60 watercolour paintings at Gallery FPH in Nariman Point, Mumbai, from September 5 to September 15. The exhibition, titled 'Purity In Watercolours', showcases landscapes, flowers, trees, and greenery that have been a lifelong fascination for Dixit.
His passion for painting began four decades ago, but it wasn't until his retirement that he dedicated himself to the craft, initially as a hobby and now as his primary occupation. Despite his extensive travels across India, Dixit's paintings are not overtly inspired by his journeys; instead, he utilizes photographs as references to recreate scenes with painstaking detail.
His watercolour medium, while challenging, offers him immense pleasure, and he hopes viewers will experience a sense of calm, familiarity, or pure enjoyment upon seeing his work.
