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 activist art?
Activist Art is a form of art created to address social and political issues. It often involves public engagement and works closely with communities to raise awareness or inspire change. While it can include elements of performance art, it is not limited to this form. Examples include creating and distributing social protest posters or organizing community-based art projects that highlight specific causes.
