Vikas Sabnis also sketched K Prakash's caricature at the gallery. "I am just amazed with the expressions of Mumbai captured by K Prakash and the way he has displayed through his works."
"K Prakash has brought forth the essence of Mumbai in his show. From the life line of Mumbai as local trains to the rustic Dharavi and the carefree attitude of the city all are depicted in a unique manner. The installation where he sketched the cart-puller on his cart is truly noteworthy," said Kiran Chopra.
Where Padmanabh Bendre felt that, "the artist was influenced by the common objects around us and has expressed it in an imaginative and creative way. The objects such as carts, dabbas, keys and cillies were aesthetically interwoven with forms, space, texture and colour which only a creative artist can capture."
Asking about his exhibition K Prakash said, "With Mumbai local – I am just trying to portray Mumbai's day to day life. What we see and experience – that all has some story and visions weaved within. I am happy to find that people admired my work and that's the biggest award for an artist."
Well that's Mumbai Local.
