Gade was born in 1917 at Talegaon Dashasar Village of District Amravati in Maharashtra, India. He studied science at the University of Nagpur where he enrolled in 1939 with the Nagpur School of Art. He taught at Jabalpur's Spencer Training College for five years before completing a Diploma and then a Masters in Art during 1949-50. He later enrolled for a year at the Central Institute of Education, New Delhi in 1958.
Gade’s works depict houses. Gade sought out life in small towns like Udaipur, Nasik and Omkareshwar for expressing his painterly constructions. Despite his claims to formalism in these early years, these bricklayered houses with small shuttered windows and sleepy facades seemed to be seething with the pent-up frustrations of its inhabitants inside. For him, colour was of the foremost importance and, struck by its emotive quality in an article he had read in a research journal, he experimented with its endless possibilities. Appropriately enough, as a student of biochemistry he was able to arrive at its subtle nuances through his knowledge of the chemistry of colour.
Gade died in 2001. Several of his works are with the National Gallery of Modern Art and Lalit Kala Akademi, New Delhi and the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai. Several art galleries across Europe also have his works in their possession.
