Mohan Khare

Hello!
I am Mohan Khare

Hello, friends. I am Mohan Khare, marine artist. I have always been inspired by every aspect of marine life in the Ocean and Seas. The professions and occupations on these waters, from the mighty warships of the Indian Navy, humble boats of fishermen, flora, fauna and the lighthouses which guide mariners to safety.

The few paintings featured here are a celebration of my lifelong obsession with the play of light on water, sky and landscapes. All things related to the sea & oceans have always been a source of endless fascination for me – trawlers, harbors, ship builders, warships, reefs, corals, flocks of sea birds, the sea and sky in their many moods and colors and especially, the legendary lighthouses.

About My Journey

Sentinels around coast of our country

Maybe it’s their history, the many secrets they seem to hold, the stories of the people they house and of lives saved. They are like a beacon of humanity shining their guiding light for one and all… lighthouses have a special place in my heart……

Each piece brings to life the architectural elegance and maritime heritage of these guiding beacons.

What they say about me

GERSON DA CUNHA

Communications and Theatre Personality

Art Directors in Advertising have to keep a talent and a secret safe: the talent of an educated hand and the secret of a painterly heart. Mohan Khare gives evidence in Shoreline Coastal Journey of having done that. Even more, he glories in the unfashionable medium of watercolour to give us sea and sky, lighthouse and fishing craft as a rare experience of tranquillity.

Throughout his 22 year successful career as an Art Director in Lintas, Mohan Khare never lost touch with his first love-watercolours. For his debut exhibition Shoreline...a Coastal Journey, Mohan explores the picturesque and dramatic lighthouses and the languorous life of our Western coast in a series of watercolours that are classic, clean, minimal. yet impactful. Images that take the viewer to these aesthetic spots that evoke the smells and sounds of salt and sea.

ATUL KASBEKAR

Eminent Photographer

Mohan's superb watercolours remind us of a forgotten, almost narrative style of fine art. His subjects evoke a pause in our crazy lives. Beautiful scapes of places we all passed in our lives but never cared to notice. Khare's work urges us to stop and smell the roses and spend a moment appreciating the quiet unsung beauty around us.
