In his work Vilasini examines our existing social structures, adapting various expressions of cultural identity prevalent in society today to raise questions about the continually changing global scenario that every individual struggles to keep pace with. Vilasini's large-format photographs evoke delicate ironies that impact existing ideologies, and influence the cultural and social consciousness of the viewer.
Vilasini's work has been exhibited in several solo shows including several editions of 'Between One Shore and Several Others' at Birds Gallery, Trivandrum, Arushi Arts, New Delhi, Sumukha Gallery, Bangalore, and the Visual Arts Gallery, New Delhi, in 2007-10; and at the Contemporary Art Gallery, Lalit Kala Academy, Kochi, in 2001. The most recent group shows in which his work has been featured include 'Freedom to March: Rediscovering Gandhi through Dandi', New Delhi in 2010; Docu Tour, BMB Gallery, Mumbai in 2010; 'A New Vanguard: Trends in Contemporary Indian Art' The Guild and Saffron Gallery, New York in 2009; Contemporary Indian Art at MoCA, Shanghai, China in 2009; 'Popular Reality' Stainless Gallery, New Delhi in 2008.
The artist lives and works in Bangalore.
