RITESH YADAV 

December 07, 2019 I Utsha Foundation of Contemporary Art, UNIT 6, VR-39, Bhubaneswar, Odisha

​

As part of Utsha residency, Ritesh spent a month exploring Bhubaneswar’s cultural heritage.

 

His art is the observation of a small event occurring in the environment. He tried to create an atmosphere of sarcasm as the poet does in his poetry, its effect and its visual scene. He created scenes that reflected questions like- how and what, the part of the earth we are on, looks like and what was it like before and what will it be like next, what are the reasons that this change is happening? 

​

In his work, he did not use any kind of artistic material. Instead, he used fire and water in which the surface was experimental.
