Painter Bari Kumar lives and works in Los Angeles but is, literally and figuratively speaking, a dweller in the wide world. He will show a new series of large- and small-scale oil paintings at Chelsea's Bose Pacia Gallery this month, made in the wake of a months-long motorcycle trip around the perimeter of his native India, and embodying the mix of expansive internationalism and art historical modernity that has made him a globally acclaimed artist. Combining Western politics and proclivities with Eastern symbolism and spirituality is just part of his complex stylistic process. By incorporating ancient and contemporary motifs, Kumar weaves a profound, insightful, sexy and sometimes violent expression of modern life around the turbulent intersection of art history and propaganda.
