In 1987-90, he has been a member of Lalit Kala Academy, Gujarat. Solanki's paintings portray the men and women of Rajasthan in easy, flowing lines. His fascination with these people can be traced to his childhood when the children of the Rabari tribe of this State would visit his house. Typically, he draws them in black and white, capturing their innate beauty and the timelessness of their lifestyle. His paintings have a photographic quality about them as he creates a play of light and shadow over the canvas.
