Art First is pleased to present this exhibition in which Kilpatrick continues to explore the cultural diversity of contemporary India. He particularly focuses on the receding values of labour and commitment to ritual, whilst maintaining an empathy with the paradox and sacrifice that modernity brings.
Using henna, spices and rice paste as well as marble dust and Indian inks, Kilpatrick has incorporated many of the customary materials employed by artists and craftsmen. In referring to the language, materials and practices of artisan culture, he seeks to erase the caste divide between art (which depends on an established order to proclaim a distinct identity) and craft (which, though creative, does not deviate from those practices instilled through inheritance rather than choice).
