Raghu Vyas is an Indian artist, working in New Delhi. His work has progressed through a number of themes over the years, including his Lotus, Sikh and Budda series. His work is rooted in Indian cultural and artistic traditions, while being informed by his study of the life and work of Raja Ravi Varma and nurtured by formal designs drawn from the Italian Renaissance. A popular theme for Rajput art centered on the romantic stories of their Hindu god Krishna . These miniatures exhibited varying degrees of stylization and included folk elements, using the traditional symbolic colors and iconography of Hindu culture. Vyas has studied and drawn from the rich heritage of his country, and in a singular break away from the canons of Modernism that dominate the arts in 21st century India. He has done many Solo Exhibitions, in sum, the eighteen paintings bring us an ethereal beauty in the classical style, while at the same time distilling the passion and ethos of Hindu mythology. In returning to one of the sources of prototypical beauty, Renaissance art, Vyas has shrewdly observed that, in the Post Modern era of art, style is the servant of content, and that this is a magnificent way to bring the story of Krishna to the world both inside and outside of India.
