Anil Revri
Anil Revri holds a degree in interior design from the Sir J. J. School of Art, Mumbai and a BFA in graphic design from the Corcoran College of Art + Design in Washington, DC. His style is a marriage of these two disciplines and environments. Though abstract in their rendering, his works are inspired by Eastern philosophy. Each piece becomes a meditation and represents a single journey into the void. For Revri, this void holds the key to our deepest emotions — love, fear, and desire among them. The work merely serves as a platform to help the viewer make the transition between the conscious and unconscious states of mind.
The artist has thirty-eight solo exhibitions to his credit in India, Europe and the United States and is the first Indian American to be granted a solo show at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, DC. His acclaimed Cultural Crossings series has earned the support of the White House Initiative on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders and has been exhibited at the United Nations' Millennium World Peace Summit of Religious and Spiritual Leaders in 2000. A sculpture — Wall For Peace — he created for his show at the American University Museum at the Katzen Arts Center was later exhibited at Dulles International Airport.
Revri's work is featured in collections worldwide including Air India; American University Museum, Washington, DC; Asian Art Museum, Berlin; ITDC Hotels, India; Library of Congress, Washington, DC; Ministry for Broadcasting, New Delhi; Ministry for Energy, New Delhi; Oberoi Hotel, New Delhi, Tata Sons ltd., Mumbai; and the US Department of State, Art in Embassies Program, US Consulate, Mumbai, among others.
