Hemali Bhuta (b. 1978, Mumbai) creates site-responsive sculptural interventions that embrace
entropy, using materials and processes susceptible to decay and disintegration to challenge the
conventional material and temporal conditions of a work of art. Stressing process over form, hermaterials and gestures of making reflect an engagement with the domestic and the everyday, thesacred and the magical. She has an ongoing engagement with nature, as both a material sourceand artistic tool, using strategies like sedimentation and excavation, aging and curing, as ways ofintroducing an intangible quality like time into a recalcitrantly present sculptural entity.
Bhuta has a degree in painting from the L.S. Raheja School of Art, Mumbai (2003), and apostgraduate degree from the Maharaja Sayajirao University, Vadodra (2009). She recently had asolo exhibition at the Centre international d’art et du paysage, île de Vassiviere, France (2017) and has participated in numerous international exhibitions including: October Salon, Belgrade (2018); the 5 th Singapore Biennale (2016); Darat Al Funun, Amman (2013-14); Yorkshire Sculpture Park (2012); the 9th Shanghai Biennale (2012). Bhuta is also the co-founder of CONA Foundation, an artist-run space in Mumbai.
