Artist Statement

Mohini Kaur is a London-based artist completing her MA in Painting at the Royal College of Art. Working across painting, photography and concept-led installation, her practice embraces the fertility of unknowing, a generative space where material, memory and meaning coalesce in fluid states of becoming. Envisioning her works as altars of active inquiry, Mohini creates through pleasure, gesture, and inner listening, layering her works with the sensorial aliveness of her polymorphic cultural heritage.

Grounded in embodied engagement with contemporary ritual and speculative inquiry, Mohini’s practice involves an attunement with interior landscapes of ancestral intelligence. Her works include elemental motifs such as water, seed and vessel that echo devotional practices and symbolic systems across traditions and time. She pours watery liquid paint as a language of energetic presence, where the seen and the sensed coexist, creating a space where personal and collective memory surface as open resonances.

Her current body of work wears the silhouette of the ‘Ancestral Long Body’. Our ‘long body’ includes the infinite generations of our ancestors and their stories that we carry in our bodies; including the stories of future generations to come. 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 imagine how we are relatives to each other.
