“The Pyre” New Works by Ravi Zupa (JULY 2 – JULY 30, 2010)
@illiterate gallery

Denver, CO 80209
ABOUT THE EXHIBIT
Temperatures rise at Illiterate as Ravi Zupa engulfs the gallery with his searingly sharp representations of the past and present. Historical styles are collected and rearranged as the kindling for drawings, paintings and sculptures that blaze with the intensity of a modern man’s angst as he attempts to place his own contemporary struggles amongst turmoils in time.
The Pyre, an exhibit of new works by Zupa, is directly inspired by a collaborative book project by the same name between the artist and renowned hip hop musician, Tim Holland, better known as Sole, founder of the Anticon record label, and leader of Sole and the Skyrider band. The book, also titled “the Pyre” revolves around the incendiary, with an epic poem by Sole interwoven with accompanying illustrations by Zupa. Both radical minds ripped from the same flaming cloth, this is not the duo’s first mutual effort, with Sole previously calling upon Zupa to direct a number of his and other Anticon artists music videos. Though the work in this exhibit exists outside the narrative within “the Pyre” book, as Zupa puts it, “they are the direct result of the same fire and seek to convey the same skepticism, want, desperation, and optimism”. Enter the Pyre and look through the eyes of an artist fueled by a world he sees all around and behind him poised to be set in flame.
