Working primarily in ink on canvas, Kanade’s paintings usually depict elements of nature in their most bare and basic forms. The artist painfully labourers to bring out the texture of each rock or bird that he portrays through minute strokes. Speaking about his work, he says “I have tried to explain a concept through these drawings. When I look at stone, I think of tolerance, its patience, its strength to be able to bear the storms. I think even stones depict sensitivity, and are part of life, seeing the colorful world in black and white. O..

The beauty of this universe is its apparent lack of vibrant colours. However, on taking a closer look, one is able to find a singular sharp depiction in a shot of colour in this monochromatic world of Umakant Kanade. The visual language that the artist uses draws within itself discrete narratives of Nature. The quiet unspoken conversations between stones, ones that endure the rampage of the seasons and the violence of mankind, these seemingly passive objects, speak volumes to the artist. The listener is keen and the stones and boulders would narrate their memories and experiences of their lives openly, if only one would listen. Then there are the seemingly twittering chirping conversations of birds and mother and child, hinted at in the vocabulary of nature's very own mother tongue. The monochromatic suddenly enlivens up and the trees swoon in sing song. One could also glean the environmental issues which alienate and isolate these feathered friends from their natural habitat into remote concrete enclosures, depriving them of their own living. Nests and birds hint at this aspect in Umakant's works. The numerous connotations of the elements of nature that Umakant employs as metaphors, sets the interpretative versatility of the works.When one observes the nuances and intricate drawings and illustrative quality of Umakant's work, you get enchanted and walk into this timeless era of beauty and grace.
