| Description |
The work of Bharti Kher includes painting, sculpture, and installation, and often engages with the readymade, minimalism, and abstraction through repetition, while investigating the paradoxes and ambiguities of what it means to be human. The artist explores a variety of themes, including sexuality, anatomy, motherhood, pregnancy, hybridity, and often taps into mythology and narrative, or links between language and image. The drawings and sketches in this book were made by Kher between 2013 and 2015, belonging to a formative moment in her life and creative development. They are full of life and feeling, at once sensual and cerebral, and radiate a poetic inclination. |
