A journey from Colonial layered academic education to a very indigenous idiom of Prasad is an alluring one. While looking at the world as an ideal, with a formalistic eye Prasad deviated to an inward vision, that of his surroundings, a tribal community region around his hometown Dahanu. His works are observations of the tribal culture, but with a discerning eye of a modern Indian. Taking forms and narratives of the tribal groups in Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh, Prasad has presented their beliefs, their rituals, their world, interwoven in his own narrative of modernity. His works have beautifully captured their ecology, choosing the parts which could be inculcated today for a more peaceful sustainable living. His style and colours retain the vivacity and momentum of these communities who remain vibrant and rooted, like nature which is constantly changing and balanced. Prasad’s works open vistas to a new idiom of a Postmodern traditionalist who we shall look forward in days to come.
