Nature Morte is pleased to present in our Annex space a show of works by Radhika Khimji. Straddling the practices of painting, drawing, collage and sculpture, Khimji's works fuse figurative supports with abstract brushwork and exploit patterning to create both tensions and surprises. In a variety of forms, her images overlap with one another, often bleeding through paper (and displayed on hinged frames so that both sides are visible) or mixed with photographic grounds. The results are works that are visually arresting but also physically involving, the practice of painting grappled and wrestled with to produce strange, new hybrids.

Radhika Khimji was born in Oman in 1979 and received an MA in Art History from the University College of London in 2007. She also studied Fine Arts at the Royal Academy (2002-2005) and the Slade School (1998-2002), both in London. She has held two previous solo exhibitions of her works (XVA Gallery, Dubai 2007 and Atrium Gallery, London 2006) and her works have been included in a wide variety of group shows throughout Europe and the Middle East. This is her first exhibition in India.

Nature Morte Annex is open Monday through Saturday, from 10am to 6pm and closed on Sundays.
