Ravi Kattakuri

My work are captured dreams, colourful, simple and evocative, they capture the spirit of urban and rural India in all its glory, the beauty of nature, graceful figure of a city and village lass, a visage that is full of surprise and coyness which appears to steal a desire from the encapsulated frame to captivate the spectator.

The themes are based entirely on human emotions and feelings of day to day life and moods.

Exhibition

I am working with mixed media works especially forms from nature. These have been an important and recurring motif in my works. Through these I would like to depict my personal thoughts. The themes are based entirely on human emotions and feelings of day to day life and moods. I could understand and appreciate the linear decorative aspects as well as the rhythmic articulation of form in defining and narrating conceptual ideas.
