Artist Statement

Mohini Kaur is a London-based artist working across painting, photography, writing and concept-led installation. Her practice embraces the fertility of unknowing as a space where material, memory and meaning meet in fluid states of becoming.

Layered with the sensorial aliveness of her polymorphic heritage, Mohini’s practice involves an attunement with interior landscapes of ancestral wisdom. Rooted in ritual, her works include elemental motifs such as water, seed and vessel that echo devotional practices, reactivating submerged knowledge systems. She pours paint as a language, where the seen and the sensed coexist, allowing a space for personal and collective memories to surface and resonate.

Her present explorations engage with the concept of the ‘Ancestral Long Body’. The ‘long body’ includes our infinite generations and their stories that we carry in our bodies. It travels between the past, present & future; it knows how we are nature; it sees our fishy days. It is the air and the earth that allows us to know ourselves deeply, inviting us to realise how we are relatives to each other.
