Nothing outside the painting is referred to. Two lines of thread choose different paths across the same surface, one acting, one watching, while a quiet nested geometry holds beneath the gesture. The surface is raised enough to cast its own shadow. With no image to read, the work becomes a record of...

Ritu Raj was raised inside Indian modernism. His father, the critic K.B. Goel, championed Souza, Husain, and Swaminathan; Ritu grew up at Dhoomimal Gallery, where abstraction was the language of the house before it was his practice.
He paints from Phoenix, in two bodies of work. Organic Movement releases thread across wet paint, surrendering to gravity and viscosity — mark-making with physics inside it. Abstract Inquiry is slower: a listening practice, where the canvas signals and he responds, and the painting decides when it is done. Across both, the question is the same: how far a painting can travel from what we recognize, and what remains when there is nothing left to name.
The same restlessness built cloud computing, ridesharing, Wag Hotels, Diamond Foundry. Different materials, one obsession — giving structure to what is felt before it has a name. Today that obsession is ArtGraph, a language system for encountering abstract art, and two books: The Shape of Seeing and The Unalgorithmic Self.
