"All it Holds Within" - Beautiful Mixed Media Work of Displaced Indian Culture

2018

Artist Statement: Through my paintings, I talk about my personal stories and contemporary human situations affected by political decisions, especially on children and women. I treat them as something to overcome and to communicate with other people. My creative process is a link between conscious and subconscious experiences. Work on paper involves an ongoing process of making and expressing. It is through putting down, cutting, pasting, colouring, manipulating, adding, layering, leaving the paper empty or drawing running stitch to create a final work of art. Usually I like to work on the waste papers which are of unusual sizes and accordingly I incorporate sequin and thread in my art which give the wings to my thoughts, as I believe that people who are the sailors of such circumstances are like thread, they can be streamed in any direction. My paintings are multi-paneled as it is the reflection of my own identity, as I have experienced my life in sections. Ritu has works collected in European museums, private collections in the States, France and India. Her work can be seen annually at LA Art Show in Gallery 1202's works on paper booth, and she had a two-person show in 2020 that featured her series, My First Day in This World.
