Apart from the diversity of the subjects handled by him, Artist Murli Lahoti never hesitated in experimenting with a variety of materials too. Apart from the conventional oil colours on canvas, he has worked on gunny sacks on plywood, sand and jute bags for the richness of texture. He has worked intensively on metal embossing for murals, low relief paintings of Plaster of Paris etc. He has experimented with the collage style in both mono-print technology as well as conventional type but in an innovative manner.

Just like any mature Artist Murli Lahoti has tried working with various art forms i.e. started with detailed figurative paintings followed by form based paintings both irregular forms as well as geometric forms and today in totally abstract style as seen in Cosmic creation series. The transition has been smooth and clearly noticed in his works, many of his paintings also show blend of the two or more of these aspects. The Artist has worked back and forth and never hesitated to work in combination of old and new.

Apart from all this Artist Murli Lahoti has always stood up to his social commitments towards society as a whole. Though he never joined any institution as faculty but he kept on sharing his experience with the students by giving demonstrations, guidance as well as sharing his experience. For promotion of Art in society he has been one of the main jury member of the ‘Sakal International Child Art Competition’ since last 7 years, where he interacts with the children to increase their sensitivity and liking towards art. Inspite of the age factor he has been acting as the main pivotal member of the ‘National Painting Competition and Exhibition’ held under the banner of ‘Lokmanya Tilak’ Trust for last 8 years. He has offered free copy rights of his paintings to be produced as greetings to social institutions like CRY (Child Relief & You), Concern India (for Cancer Patients), ‘Umaed’ (for Mentally Challenged People), etc. He has also donated paintings for gathering funds through public auction to Rotary International (for Polio Relief), Prime Minister’s Drought & Famine Relief funds, Kargil War Relief Fund, etc.
