Ravi Kumar Chaurasiya

Ravi Kumar Chaurasiya's inter-disciplinary art practice spans diverse mediums in various scales presented in the form of Installations, Paintings, Sculpture, Sound art, Video art (site specific/site responding), Photography, Drawings and Performance etc.; and there is a focus on experimentation with light and colour. Which he has tried to show through the process, subjects, concepts and her choice of medium. Process has always been bound up in time.

In his recent art practice, he uses realistic style and semi-figurative approach. Often, a deep human figure is looking for its own path or the existence of the imaginative architect on one side and the symbolic experimental figure on the other. His work has multiple dimensions with various visual techniques and mixed mediums.

He is deeply interested in animal forms, specifically dogs (given their closeness to human beings), and how they can be understood as a metaphor for human society. His painting seeks to represent the discourse on the environment and how the interventions of human have affected it.
