He has closely followed the narration of form - the uniqueness in the shapes of seeds and other vegetation. Hailing from the agricultural town of Khairagarh, Ritesh has seeped himself in defining through drawings the imagery and composition of simplified linear and volume of such forms. The recurrence of them in his earlier charcoal works, grew towards the narration of a landscape. His current body has emerged as one that has not only a narrative approach (he has been a integral part of the drama group from Khairagarh and is also a playwright) with an involvement of characters but also a one with a story but with an abstraction in thought. He has smoothly built in text - as words or sentences, mapping his own way through the canvas. Ritesh presents mixed media on canvas and an equally moving video at Chemould.

Ritesh Meshram first showed solo at the Qualcomm artist's support space in Mumbai in 2007 after which he was presented by the Birla gallery in 2008. He has shown solo at the Lalit Kala (New Delhi) and has participated in several group shows. He lives and works in Mumbai.
