Ravi Paul Abraham

Societe Generale Gallery, Singapore

ABSTRACTION 2013 is the third in the series of solo exhibitions held in Singapore by Indian-French artist, Ravi Paul Abraham. The new collection of works features more than 40 original abstract pieces inspired by the origin of creation, and elements of nature and the environment. Abstract art is a contemporary style of painting that demonstrates a visual language unique to every abstract artist. For Abraham, creating abstract art represents the means to channel his creative energy with positive emotions that come from a higher vision within. While journeying through the abstract painting process, he searches for a rhythm that harmonizes with his creative expression to communicate balance and beauty, as reflected in the artistry of Abstraction 2013.

Working with oils on paper and wood, Abraham uses a technique that is both modern and unique. By rubbing paints into the chosen medium, scratching and allowing the oils to penetrate through, the most fantastic pieces are created. This contemporary painting style allows the artist the freedom to explore new dimensions by altering dreamscape images that exist in real life or by an imagined setting.

Through ABSTRACTION 2013, Abraham’s paintings and three dimensional art pieces offer the viewer a unique way of seeing the beauty of life and nature. They also express a sense of human emotion using the four elements of earth, air, fire, and water.

ABSTRACTION 2013 features artworks that are inspired and energized by patterns and colour compositions – from soothing, yet vibrant colours, to waves of light, and layered movement that represent the rich possibilities of abstraction as a mode of artistic expression.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Born to Indian-French parents in 1970, Ravi Paul Abraham spent his youth in Lagos, Nigeria, his birth country. He later moved to India to study industrial design and visual communication, very much influenced by the Bauhaus movement. Since then he has travelled far and wide, all the time, experimenting with different art forms. In the early 90’s, he found his true calling for painting and has never looked back since. Abraham’s paintings are a natural transition from his editorial illustration, drawn from the many images that live inside his head, to expressing beautiful works using acrylic and oils on paper, canvas and wood. Abraham’s art is always evolving, and is never confined to any one specific medium or genre. Besides Singapore, his collection of works has taken him to solo exhibitions in India, London and soon to be, Dubai and Canada. Abraham currently resides in Singapore where he is Creative Director of Blue Duck Design, a corporate branding and design company which he founded in 2004.
