His painting exhibition "Marigold" was inaugurated by popular actor Milind Gawali on March 25. The exhibition will remain open to all from 11 am to 7 pm on the ground floor of the Army Navy Building at Kalaghoda in south Mumbai until the 31st.
Gawali praised Pradeep Mhapsekar on this occasion. "Most of Mhapsekar's paintings have two shapes, which can be called symbols of nature or the source that creates life," Gawali said.
Gawli also wished that an artist like Mhapsekar should showcase his work at the international level. "In fact, many of those gathered here are artists, and I am proud to be an artist myself," Gawali added.
Gawali further said, "The artists maintain the balance in the society. There are big challenges facing the artists in the present times." He also appreciated the fact that the dignitaries were given paper marigold flowers made by disabled children.
