Exhibition Concept – GRAINS OF ANTIQUITY

Hunger is something we all understand, some more than others and for sustained periods of time.

Today, we each consume food that is grown elsewhere – another city, another country and grown by another person, yet, at every corner we have borders, everywhere there is conflict and anger, discrimination and dissent.
The construct of a nation itself is destructive, for its emphasis is on race, language, color and borders. These constructs are superficial and are raised to counter the commonalities of human existence.
As an artist of conscience Revati Sharma Singh steps away from the borders of nations to weave in an inclusivity of existence based on simple human emotions that welcomes the diversities of race, sex and language.

Revati Singh Sharma is an autodidact artist based in London who works with assemblages of ceramic , cast metal, handmade silver, tapestry , embroidery and paint.

Her practice began as a portrait artist 20 years ago and has since moved to abstract painting and installation art. She casts grains in varied materials and stitches them together so that they form maps of countries, cutouts and drawings are placed over each other using rice paper forming various planes of visual decoupages. Revati Singh Sharma exhibits this series of works she has developed over the last six years in ceramic, metal and paint.
