Grown-up by his own talent, Shashikant has no formal education in art, (he had to drop out of Sir J J School of Art, Mumbai, in a month) works on black paper with colour pencils. The 29-year-old-artist (looks much younger) captures all the beautiful nuances of the varied expressions of young women in a remarkable way with the help of pencils. His paintings have that rare quality of looking alive and give the impression of being almost three-dimensional. The extraordinary story of Shashikant Dhotre will be featured in the show and will be elaborating about his contribution and hardship through which he has achieved a lot of recognition. He has won nine major awards in the field of art which includes the Art Society of India award and the UK Colour Pencil award.
