| Ravi Zupa |
 | Biography: Ravi Zupa considers books the best way to experience art.
He has spent decades studying books about the art, mythology, religion, and history of
cultures from across geography and time.
Entirely self-taught, Zupa looks to works by German Renaissance printmakers, Flemish
primitives, abstract expressionists, Japanese woodblock artists, and Mughal painters for
inspiration.
He also frequently incorporates religious iconography from Europe, Asia, and Pre-Columbian
Latin America with revolutionary propaganda from around the world.
With a distaste for ironic art or the thoughtless appropriation of culture, he integrates
seemingly unrelated images in search of something universal.
Zupa does not create any of his art digitally; everything comes from his own hand Media: drawing Style: abstract Subjects: people, portraits and characters |
