Considering Art Podcast – Raghav Babbar, painter
Description
Raghav Babbar is a young Indian artist who paints everyday people in a sensitive and empathetic way. His subjects reflect his Indian heritage and his works are highly sought after. In this episode, he talks about his upbringing in a family of businesspeople, travelling in the northern Indian states, the influence of British artists such as Lucian Freud whose work he came across when studying at the Royal College of Art in London, his love of painting self-portraits, his experience of witnessing the Hindu pilgrimage of Maha Kumbh and his process of putting paint on canvas.
