For travelers looking for incredible four-star hotels, Bangalore has plenty to offer. With luxurious accommodations in a world-class setting, the sky’s the limit for relaxation. Room service is splendid and delicious, and guests will find themselves living in the heart of their own dream. A delicate combination of old and new marks the sense of style here, and the time here will be remembered for the sumptuousness of the decor. Impressive and also understated, there is a palpable sense of gracefulness that permeates the atmosphere here.
Bangalore itself is a fascinating metropolis. With one of the largest universities in the world, a technology sector that is extremely well-connected to all aspects of global culture, and a local population that is accepting and welcoming, yet still maintaining a strong sense of their own customs, Bangalore is a traveler’s feast. There is an urban core here that is strikingly local, but also oddly familiar. This kind of odd familiarity is at the heart of Bangalore artist Ravi Kumar Kashi’s works. Born in Bangalore in 1968, he still resides here, after having lived away off and on for a time. The sense of urban identity that is starting to define modern experience has always been present in his work, but his latest creations take this theme into another level.
He received his first degree from the College of Fine Arts in Bangalore in 1988. He has also earned an M.F.A. in Print Making from Baroda, an MA in English at Mysore, and, in 2001, studied handmade papermaking in Glasgow from a Charles Wallace India Trust grant. He has worked as a teacher in engineering, and is also working more and more as an instructor for visual arts. Although his work is shown all over the world, the paintings and paper sculptures of Ravi Kumar Kashi are shown extensively in Bangalore, New Delhi, and Mumbai. His work takes modernity as a focus, and adds some peculiar and wonderful twists. He says that he is extremely influenced by visual culture, as well as the culture of the everyday spectacle. Many of his paintings have advertising images as the center, but twisted and distorted to become comments on life in the world right now. His work has an immediacy and an energy that is distinctively his own.
