Art Practice:
Kavita’s practice builds its language from the shapeshifting canvas of the sidewalks and her immediate environment. Her artworks encourage viewers to create pause in their daily lives and engage with the beauty, magic and wonder around them. Serendipity, the passage of time, imperfection, impermanence and the play of the elements are all inherent to her process. Kavita sees parallels between her “found materials” and the lived experience of humans, where our challenges shape our resilience, revealing our inimitable essence. She works intuitively, as such, she “relinquishes control over the outcome and so each artwork is unique, full of endless possibilities.”

 

Artist Biography:
Kavita Issar Batra is an artist of Indo-British heritage who weaves her life, lived between Singapore, India and the UK, into her art. For 18 years, she has explored art-making through traditional painting, photography, writing, video, and installation. Kavita studied with British artist James Holdsworth for three years and was mentored by Australian artist David Kelly for four years. She had six solo exhibitions in Singapore, as well as a solo exhibition at the Visual Arts Gallery, India Habitat Centre, New Delhi, in March 2019. In May 2020, she was selected to participate in STPI’s inaugural edition of Printmakers Assembly and on Ocula. Kavita’s artworks can be found in private collections across the world.
