Publié par Eric SIMON - Catégories : #Biographie

BHARTI KHER
est née en 1969 à Londres. Elle vit et travaille actuellement à New Delhi (Inde).

Son travail fait largement usage de bindis qu'elle utilise pour parer des sculptures monumentales en fibre de verre souvent inspirées du monde animal et créer des compositions picturales sur panneaux.

Son travail est plongé dans les questions d'identité et de culture.

Elle est mariée à l'artiste indien Subodh Gupta ; ils ont deux enfants.
