Ritesh Kumar
Active since 2019
Ritesh Kumar is a New Delhi-based artist and fashion designer whose interdisciplinary practice explores themes of circularity, presence, and minimalism. He merges gestural abstraction with meditative expression. His paintings, rooted in the concept of positive space around a circle, reflect a deep reverence for nature and the cosmos. As an artist, his work invites you to observe circularity, patterns and rhythm in oneself and thus the universe. All paintings are subset of an ongoing series and notion of Positive space around a circle. Coming from the fact that life, as we know it, is inside a sphere, sustained by spheres in space and flows in a cycle of seasons, the practice is a nod of gratitude to sun, moon, sky, sea and earth for a form and system that was given to us. His process is gestural and inspired by enso-like breathwork and the brushstrokes radiate, revolve or swirl around a pristine core where both, peace and passion are neighbors.
