Yogesh Ramkrishna
ArtistYogesh Ramkrishna is a young visual art practitioner from Pune. He received his Bachelor’s in Fine Art – Painting from Sir J.J. School of Arts and Masters in visual arts in the Graphic Department from M.S. University of Baroda, Gujarat. During his master’s, he specialized in multiple methods of traditional and contemporary printmaking, drawing, installation and includes different levels of interactivity. His works convey his own perspectives towards our current socio-political condition, cultural propagandas and post-truth era behaviors of society. He articulates the friction between traditional Indian beliefs and urban Indian lifestyle as they come to terms with each other as well as simulate new identities and anxieties which rose during the pandemic. The visual content of his works becomes dramatic, comic-like, stylized mythically charged and sometimes, to an extent, erotic.
