Kiran Chandra

Dividing my life living between Calcutta and New York, and my education in Delhi, Florence and Boston has influenced my work. This movement of place has made me sensitive to the politics, economics, and policies of both where I am and where I am coming from.

I make interventions in and on language, spaces and images. By intervening in language, I make text drawings. Words like L(OVER), S(LAUGHTER), B(LACK), or GALLE(R)Y allow me to point to nostalgia, cruelty, systemic racism and commercialism in the art world.
