Nature Morte is pleased to present an exhibition of sculptures by the artist Bharti Kher. Kher has consistently explored ways of art-making through a wide variety of materials since the beginning of her professional artistic practice in the 1990s. Her life-size sculpture of a dying elephant, entitled “The Skin Speaks a Language Not its Own” and created in 2006, remains one of her most iconic works and endures as a benchmark of maturity for contemporary art from India.

On view will be a selection of recent sculptures from 2017 to 2021. Kher has chosen to exhibit these works together precisely because they reference and relate to the body, albeit the body in multiple manifestations, and the spaces both outside of and within the body: physical, psychological, and mythical.
