Jitish Kallat, RSVP Studies - 3, 2005, mixed-media on paper with monochromatic faces and dynamic ink splatters around “RSVP studies” title.

Mixed media on paper // Jitish Kallat’s RSVP Studies - 3 from 2005 is a mixed-media artwork on paper that combines gouache with expressive ink splatters and figures. The composition features a cluster of monochromatic faces in various expressions, arranged densely around the title “RSVP studies” set in a bold, blue rectangular block. The crowd-like arrangement of faces suggests themes of urban density, collective identity, and anonymity. Kallat’s use of dynamic brushstrokes and splatters injects a sense of chaos and movement, symbolizing the overwhelming presence of people in urban environments. This work exemplifies Kallat’s exploration of social commentary through abstract and representational forms, capturing the essence of contemporary human experience.

What is Lettrism?

Lettrism is an art form that uses letters, words, and symbols to create artwork. The movement was established in Paris in the 1940s and later gained popularity in the 1950s in America. Lettrisme is the French spelling of the movement's name, derived from the French word for letter.
