Radhika Khimji has created a series of installations, drawings and multimedia artworks that desexualise the female body. Her solo exhibition, Artefacts from Below, is the first in Mumbai
She plays around with the idea of the human body by hollow it out and producing silhouettes or two-dimensional renderings instead. Highlighting the absence of flesh, Khimji uses colour to again underline emptiness or absence as well as an absorption or saturation. Thus, in the gallery’s words, Khimji’s works are called, “artefact from below the surface of the skin.”
