Born in 1979, Oman, Radhika Khimji is a contemporary artist whose works explore materiality and form, shaped by her readings about hybridity and identity in our present-day society worldwide. She graduated from Slade School of Fine Art in 2002 followed by a Post Graduate Diploma in Fine Art from Royal Academy of Art in 2005, and a Master’s Degree in History of Art from University College London in 2007.
Khimji states, “My work is at once a painting, a drawing and a collage; it is also an embroidery and a sculpture. Because it is all of these things a place between many polarities emerges. In evading identification my work appears to arise out of identity itself, and the more I try to escape categorisation the more I find myself bound within it… I have developed a way of working informed by the physicality and materiality of the making process to deconstruct, evade and erase constructions of formulated identities. I question categorisation and often play with terms and the naming of things to generate a new narrative for an object and render it abstract from its loaded history.”
Khimji’s solo shows include ‘Shift’, Galerie Krinzinger, Vienna, 2019; ‘Becoming Landscape’, Krinzinger Projekte, Vienna, 2017; ‘Artefacts from Below’, Project 88, Mumbai; and ‘B Sides’, Nature Morte Annexe, New Delhi, 2009. She also received the Sir Frank and Lady Short Award in 2004.
