Form was most preferred by Kulkarni. He loved it whether it was
pure or representational, had or didn't have any literary load.
Sometimes his works might have mirrored an identifiable style or
some conceptual consistency. This consistency subsided when he
worked upon his colossal mosaic mural for the Children's Book
Trust or while doing portraits of celebs of India.
He made his appearance on Indian art scenario when it was going
through the time of Progressive Artists' Group of Bombay,
Progressive Group of Calcutta and the new cohort of artists of
the Delhi Shilpi Chakra.
