Bharti Kher – The Sun Splitting Stones

Category: Contemporary art, sculpture, installation

Galerie Perrotin welcomes Indian artist Bharti Kher for an exhibition of rare aesthetic and symbolic power. With The Sun Splitting Stones, the artist explores matter, memory and contemporary mythologies through hybrid sculptures and monumental installations.
Known for her use of the bindi, a traditional dot applied to the forehead, which she repurposes as a plastic motif, Bharti Kher questions notions of identity, femininity and metamorphosis. The exhibition reveals works that combine animal fragments, everyday objects, industrial materials and spiritual references, creating a visual language that is both intimate and universal.
This Parisian exhibition, one of the most eagerly awaited of the autumn art season, offers an opportunity to discover the poetic and political power of an artist who places the body and ritual at the heart of her approach.
