Bharti Kher (b. 1969) is an Indian-based contemporary artist, known for her sculptures which explore hybridised forms, exploring the distinction between humans and nature.
Kher consistently uses found objects in her practice, thus, assembling and transforming are key aspects of her work. Another signature of the artist is her use of the bindi, first appearing in 1995.
She has had several solo exhibitions worldwide and is represented by Hauser & Wirth. She has won numerous awards, including the ARKEN Art Prize in 2010 and the Chevalier dans l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in 2015.
Art of Wishes acquired 'Dreamcatcher' (2018) for auction in 2019, courtesy of the artist and Hauser & Wirth Gallery.
