Artville artist of the day: Reena Saini Kallat
Title: Falling Fables - 18
Year: 2012
Medium: Mixed media on canvas
Size: 42 x 72 in | 106.7 x 182.9 cm
Reena Saini was born in New Delhi, India in 1973. In 1996, she graduated from the Sir Jamsetjee Jeejebhoy School of Art, Mumbai with a B.F.A. in painting. While at school, Kallat was the recipient of a Merit Scholarship. She is married to fellow artist Jitish Kallat.
Her practice – spanning painting, photography, video, sculpture and installation, often incorporates multiple mediums into a single work. She frequently works with officially recorded or registered names of people, objects, and monuments that are lost or have disappeared without a trace, only to get listed as anonymous and forgotten statistics. For instance, her work Falling Fables, which was exhibited at the maximum India exhibition at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, explores the architectural ruins of Delhi. One of the recurrent motifs in her work is the rubber stamp, used as an object and an imprint, signifying the bureaucratic apparatus, which both confirms and obscures identities.
