Born in Delhi 1967, Rajnish Kaur is one of the new generation of India’s finest contemporary artists. She received her BA and MA at Delhi College of Art and was awarded the Charles Wallace Scholarship to London’s Chelsea College of Art (Postgraduate).
After lecturing at Delhi College of Art (1994-1997) she decided to concentrate solely on her work. Her art has been exhibited internationally with 30 shows in India, London, New York, Switzerland and 8 solo shows in Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore and Singapore.
Rajnish states her intention to ‘make the work live – it should talk to me and there are moments of silence as well. And in the process of making interesting things surface, other images are buried…the happiness of birth and the sadness of death, just as in life itself.’
Her work is an evocation of experience and has an undeniably powerful draw. Brimming with feelings, memories and desires, it is an homage to the exuberance of life and intensity of existence.
Over the past two years Rajnish has focused on using oil pastel on paper and we are very proud to present this major exhibition of over 50 of these latest works.
