Preview of Works by Ramesh Pithiya

Jackfruit curated a very successful show of gouache paintings by this young gay artist from Baroda. Ramesh Pithiya’s work is an exploration of the representation of gay life and art in Indiaand abroad, the artist’s positioning of his own identity and his theorizing of queerness. The show opening also presented a reading of selected texts on homosexuality and the struggle for rights by well-known theatre actor Ruchika Chanana through our Art of the Matter series on art and literature.
