Suresh Lonkar
📍 Puneसुरेश श्यामराव लोणकर यांचा कलाकार म्हणून झालेला प्रवास कला निर्माण करणे आणि कलाकारांच्या पुढच्या पिढीचे पालनपोषण या दोन्हींबद्दलच्या त्यांच्या अविचल समर्पणाने द्योतक आहे. पुण्यातील अभिनव कला महाविद्यालयात (1976) त्यांच्या औपचारिक शिक्षणाने त्यांना कलात्मक तंत्रे आणि तत्त्वांचा भक्कम पाया प्रदान केला, ज्याचा आधार त्यांनी इतरांसोबत शेअर केला. एक शिक्षक म्हणून लोणकर यांचा प्रभाव वर्गाच्या मर्यादेपलीकडे पसरलेला आहे. कला शिबिरे आणि कार्यशाळांद्वारे, तो अशा जागा तयार करतो जिथे विद्यार्थी त्यांच्या सर्जनशीलतेचा शोध घेऊ शकतात आणि त्यांच्या मार्गदर्शनाखाली त्यांची कौशल्ये विकसित करू शकतात. आर्ट कट्टा ही संकल्पना, ज्याचा तो चॅम्पियन आहे, कलाकारांना एकत्र येण्यासाठी, विचारांची देवाणघेवाण करण्यासाठी आणि त्यांच्या कलेद्वारे समाजाशी संलग्न होण्यासाठी एक दोलायमान व्यासपीठ म्हणून काम करते. 1990 मध्ये लोणकर यांनी "तुलसी आर्ट फाऊंडेशन" ची स्थापना करून कलेला प्रोत्साहन देण्याच्या ध्येयात एक महत्त्वपूर्ण पाऊल उचलले. कलाकारांना त्यांचे कार्य दाखविण्यासाठी, मार्गदर्शन मिळवण्यासाठी आणि सहकारी अभ्यासकांशी संपर्क साधण्यासाठी संधी उपलब्ध करून देण्यात या संस्थेने महत्त्वपूर्ण भूमिका बजावली आहे. वर्षानुवर्षे, फाऊंडेशन इच्छुक कलाकारांसाठी एक दिवाबत्ती बनले आहे, ते कला जगताच्या गुंतागुंतीकडे नेव्हिगेट करत असताना त्यांना समर्थन आणि प्रोत्साहन देतात. कलेच्या माध्यमातून सामाजिक बांधिलकीची लोणकर यांची बांधिलकी त्यांना संपूर्ण महाराष्ट्रात विविध उपक्रमांचे नेतृत्व करताना दिसते. सार्वजनिक कला प्रकल्प, सामुदायिक कार्यशाळा किंवा सहयोगी प्रदर्शनांद्वारे, तो सामाजिक बदल आणि सांस्कृतिक समृद्धीसाठी एक साधन म्हणून त्याची कला वापरतो. एक शिक्षणतज्ज्ञ म्हणून काम करण्याबरोबरच, लोणकर स्वतःचा कलात्मक अभ्यास उत्कटतेने आणि कठोरपणे करत आहेत. जलरंगातील निसर्गचित्रे, भारतीय सजावटीच्या शैलीतील अलंकारिक कला आणि शिल्पकला यांचा त्यांचा शोध कलाकार म्हणून त्यांची बहुमुखी प्रतिभा आणि विविध माध्यमांतून भावना आणि खोली व्यक्त करण्याची त्यांची क्षमता दर्शवते. अनेक दशकांच्या आपल्या विपुल कारकिर्दीतून, सुरेश लोणकर यांनी कलाविश्वावर अमिट छाप सोडली आहे, कलाकारांच्या पिढ्यांना प्रेरणा दिली आहे आणि सर्जनशीलता, उत्कटता आणि समर्पणाचा वारसा सोडला आहे. त्यांच्या योगदानाने केवळ महाराष्ट्रातील कलात्मक परिदृश्यच समृद्ध केले नाही तर त्यांच्या कलात्मकतेने आणि मार्गदर्शनाने प्रभावित झालेल्या असंख्य व्यक्तींच्या जीवनालाही स्पर्श केला आहे.
