One of the most famous Indian artists in the world, Ranbir Kaleka studied
painting at the Royal College of Art in London, and it cannot be said that he
has stopped painting since then. In any case in his work he perceives digital
video as a moving painted image, which is emphasized with motifs, forms and
styles of the classical eastern and western art. His works can be distinguished
from a decorative “painting animation” by their deep exploration of perception
and context of art.
«Hybrid forms can be fragile and demanding. Kaleka combines video with painting
in a way that revivifies both mediums, infusing his keen format skills with a
contemporary awareness of movement and time». (Art In America)
