About the Artists:

Olivia Fraser

A Delhi-based artist, Olivia Fraser bridges Indian miniature traditions with Western modernism. Her work utilizes traditional pigments and gurukul techniques to explore spiritual themes through the geometric rhythms of Op Art and Suprematism. Following the legacy of her ancestor, James Baillie Fraser, she continues to advocate for the craft through her practice and annual painting courses in Jaipur.

Bharti Kher

Bharti Kher’s 30-year practice across sculpture, painting, and installation explores animism, surrealism, and the "nature of things." Known for her "chimeras" and use of readymade materials, she balances topical politics with poetic allegory. Her work is featured in major global collections, including the Tate, British Museum, and KNMA. She is a recipient of the Chevalier dans l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres.
