Artist Development – ActionSpace Visit, London
As part of Ketan’s artistic development, Art Riot Collective facilitated a visit to ActionSpace in London, enabling him to work alongside artist Nnena Kalu. This opportunity followed Ketan’s engagement with Kalu’s work at MK Gallery, where strong parallels were identified in their approaches to abstract painting through repetitive movement, colour, and rhythm.
During the visit, both artists worked simultaneously, drawing inspiration from one another through shared gestures, colour palettes, and mark-making processes. This exchange supported Ketan in developing new work while fostering a collaborative and reflective environment.
The experience highlights Art Riot Collective’s commitment to creating meaningful opportunities for disabled and neurodivergent artists to connect, learn from one another, and contribute to a more inclusive and evolving artistic landscape.
