Bharti Kher
The XI hour 2009
Bindis on painted board
33 x 33 x 5 cm
Edition of 25
SOLD OUT (incl. VAT)
Bharti Kher (born 1969) works with sculpture, photography and painting, exploring issues of personal identity, social roles and Indian traditions and also issues around genetics, evolution, technology and ecology. Kher uses the bindi as a central motif in her work, transforming the surfaces of both sculptures and paintings to connect disparate ideas. The bindi is a forehead decoration traditionally made with red pigment and worn by Hindu men and women. It represents the ‘third eye’, the all-knowing intrinsic wisdom, and is a symbol of marital status. Recently bindis have been transformed into stick-on vinyl, disposable objects and a secular, feminine fashion accessory. In Kher’s work, the bindi transcends its mass-produced diminutiveness becomes a powerful stylistic and symbolic device, creating visual richness and allowing a multiplicity of meanings.

Nalini Malani (born 1946) emerged in the late -1960s when the Indian art scene was male dominated. Amongst a new generation of women artists who wove personal narratives and histories into their practice, her early works were cathartic autobiographies. The female protagonists of her paintings expressively negotiate family relationships by showing previously unexposed family dynamics including female rebellion and isolation within a patriarchal society. With a focus on the body, interaction and layering become a metaphor to illustrate the complexities of Indian society and the emotions they elicit: oppression, anxiety, self-absorption and anger.

Subodh Gupta (born 1964) uses found objects that are recognisable icons of everyday Indian life – stainless steel kitchenware, bicycles, scooters and taxis and elevates their status to that of art works. Working across a full range of media, he draws on his own experience of cultural dislocation through migration from rural to urban areas and highlights the threat to the traditional way of life resulting from India’s rapid modernisation and urbanisation.
