Ravi Zupa

Post by MrMurk »

Ravi is one of Denver's finest young artists. He recently had a solo show at Outsiders in the UK
For the month of February he is exhibiting with Lindsay St. Antoine at Black Book Gallery.

For the first show of 2012 at Black Book Gallery in Denver, CO, the format of the exhibition is just as significant as the individual work itself. In an exploration of togetherness and separateness, among other themes, Ravi Zupa and Lindsay St. Antoine, who also share in a relationship, will be showing somewhat simultaneously, yet in different locations across continents.

Ravi, who held a solo exhibition last fall at Black Book, will be exhibiting at The Outsiders Gallery in London on January 12th, 2012, while Lindsay will be having her first solo exhibition at Black Book Gallery soon afterward, February 3rd, 2012. Nothing Teaches Needs is the title of the dual exhibition and creates dialogue around the subject of where needs originate in both the human psyche as well as in the natural, physical realm. To describe his part of the show, Ravi uses the example of how infants possess inherent answers and tools to satisfy their needs from the start, “Infants emerge from their mothers with perfect knowledge of how to coordinate their mouths and throats to feed.”

For her part, Lindsay has been thrust into a more personal exploration of the themes, which have highlighted dualities in her own process: the desire to express, countered with fear of expressing as well as multiple associations of joy and pain intertwined, all par for the course of the human condition, but perhaps more vividly felt by the person leading a life in which heavy emphasis on art making is present. It is with exhibition of this kind of art that viewers become privileged to witness the boldness of personal expression.

Taken together, with Ravi tackling broader themes of intimacy and needs, while Lindsay translates her own experiences on the same subject, the two create a distinct balance, which is very much male/ female in quality. Lindsay’s work is made up of layer after layer of house paint, acrylic paint, oil paint, oil stick, oil pastel, old paper, graphite pencil, colored pencil, ink, and ballpoint pen, with a bit of screen printing. As part of their collaboration, Ravi has created drawings, block-printed images, and words (which were originally written poetically or spoken insanely) to be incorporated into Lindsay’s paintings. These drawings and prints, carefully made, combined with the raw dirtiness of Lindsay’s painting, give a dreamlike view into the beauty and the mess that can exist within attempted intimacy.

If anybody is ont he fence thisis what Shepard thinks about Ravi's work
"I see a lot of great art, but as an artist with an astounding command of a broad range of techniques and aesthetics, Ravi Zupa is a rare find. Ravi demonstrates mastery in a renaissance painting style, collage, printmaking, and drawing. The rich fusion of techniques in his work could be presumed to be appropriation, but it is not… all of the elements were rendered by Ravi. "

These pieces are great. Although some of the images are prints, Ravi does a lot of work on each piece.

We are stoked for this show. Can't wait to see the larger pieces and puppets.

Check it out!

If you are cool with the version that came from the show that was not signed or numbered, this is the one to get. It's an amazing piece of art.

Didn't mean to step on any toes, just came across when browsing. I would definitely go for the s/n version, but I don't personally collect gig posters.

I did pick up a few Ravi originals from you a few years ago and love them.
