Press Release

Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery is delighted to present Mimetic Mass, an exhibition of new works by Kirtika Kain.⁠

About the artist

Delhi-born, Sydney-based artist, Kirtika Kain examines how oppressive social hierarchies and power structures have been enforced upon and embodied by generations before her from the perspective of an outsider. Kain incorporates a myriad of humble materials that relate to themes of valuation, corporeality, ritual and the manual labour of the lower classes including iron filings, gold, vermillion and bitumen. Through diverse alchemical and experimental printmaking processes, Kain attempts to transform these everyday materials into aesthetic object of value; thus, re-defining and re-imagining a personal and collective narrative.

Kirtika Kain has been represented by Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery since 2019.
