Ravé - Featured Artist (view gallery)

Ravé is an international visual artist, designer, photographer and music composer based in New York City with his roots in India.

Ravé is a consummate traveler having visited over 20 countries all the while discovering, learning and experiencing their various cultures and modern-day lifestyles. Having a deep desire to share these insights and experiences with others, Ravé began developing his visual works to center around capturing, exposing and immersing people into the beauty and wonder found in different countries, cultures and modern-day lifestyles from around the world by showcasing their 9 Muses of Modern Culture - visual arts, music, performing arts, film, media, literature, fashion, design and culinary arts - all in an effort to inspire a deeper human understanding amongst ourselves and each other. Ravé's visual works and installations have been seen, displayed and experienced around the world including the Museum Tower, which houses the world famous Museum of Modern Art in New York City, and most recently the renown Q Gallery in Orlando, Florida.

The current showcase by Ravé, "Gateway to the World: India Series", blends the real with the surreal in a limited edition original photography exhibit of a 5,000 person - 9 Day Indian Wedding in Mumbai, India, comprised of 15 unique pieces inked onto 30"x40" canvas sheets signed by the artist.

"Across humanity, weddings are a common celebration of life and love, yet it's interesting to see how different countries and cultures celebrate these auspicious occasions. In this exhibit, I wanted to immerse others into the vivid imagery, colors, activities and beauty typically found in an Indian wedding, which is quite the contrast from the traditional western white wedding..." - Ravé
