Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery is delighted to present 'Blue Bloods', an exhibition of new works by Kirtika Kain.⁠ ⁠ Opening reception: Saturday, 2 December from 4-7pm*⁠ Exhibition dates: 2 December 2023 – January 2024⁠ *Please register your attendance to the opening reception via the link in our bio.⁠ ⁠ Kirtika Kain is an Delhi-born artist working on Dharug land. Combining elements of sculpture, experimental printmaking and painting, Kirtika’s practice draws from her Dalit lineage and investigates hybridity, ancestral memory and the complexities of race and caste in the diaspora. Her work is influenced by historical and family archives and her labour-intensive studio practice utilises materials of ritual, including pigments, waxes and golds, reclaiming their traditional religiosity. The quality of timeless silence and sacredness that these materials uphold are central in her work. Kirtika’s visual representations tell a story of personal and collective histories, reflecting on the fragmented inheritance of caste.⁠ ⁠ Kirtika Kain has been represented by Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery since 2019.⁠ ⁠ Image: Kirtika Kain, 'Blue Bloods VI', 2023, cotton thread, rangoli pigment, artist pigment, tar, acrylic paint, gold leaf, gold paint, tar, 120 x 120 cm.⁠
