Permindar Kaur (born 1965, in Nottingham) is a visual artist. [1] She was included in the British Art Show in 1996. [2] She is shortlisted for the Freelands Award 2022 for her upcoming exhibition at John Hansard Gallery. [3]
Kaur was born in Nottingham to Punjabi parents. [1] She gained a BA from Sheffield City Polytechnic in 1989, an MA from Glasgow School of Art in 1992 and spent several years in Barcelona in the early 1990s. [4]
Kaur emerged to prominence during the 1990s. [1] Her work is often concerned with themes surrounding the home, domestic life and childhood. The structure of the house itself frequently appears in her sculpture in works such as Overgrown House (2020). [5] Items of domestic furniture such as beds and chairs also appear, often in outsized or distorted forms, resulting in an effect that is slightly ‘disconcerting’ or ‘unnerving’ as art historian Eddie Chambers has noted. [6]
Permindar Kaur's work is part of the following collections:
Sir Richard Sheridan Patrick Michael Aloysius Franklin Bowling(né Richard Sheridan Franklin Bowling; born 26 February 1934), known as Frank Bowling, is a British artist who was born in British Guiana. He is particularly renowned for his large-scale, abstract "Map" paintings, which relate to abstract expressionism, colour field painting and lyrical abstraction. Bowling has been described as "one of Britain’s greatest living abstract painters", as "one of the most distinguished black artists to emerge from post-war British art schools" and as a "modern master". British cultural critic and theorist Stuart Hall situates Bowling’s career within a first generation, or “wave” of post-war, Black-British art, one characterised by postwar politics and British decolonisation. He is the first black artist to be elected a member of the Royal Academy of Arts.
