Kaur, Permindar: - "Permindar Kaur's artistic practice extends over more than three decades during which time she has become one of Britain's most innovative artists. Known as much for her deft manipulation of materials including glass, metal, and fabric, as for her evocative exploration of home, childhood, memory and cultural identity, Kaur's practice defies easy categorisation. With its fastidious regard for scale and form, Kaur's work is both alluring and contemplative.
Kaur has exhibited internationally; Overgrown House (2020) is included in Compton Verney's major new Sculpture in the Park project for 2024 alongside legendary sculptors such as Louise Bourgeoise and Helen Chadwick. Major solo exhibitions include Nothing is Fixed (2024) John Hansard Gallery, Southampton; Outgrown (2022), The ArtHouse, Wakefield; Home, 5 Howick Place, London (2020-21); Interlopers, University of Hertfordshire (2016); Hiding Out, Djanogly Art Gallery, Nottingham Lakeside Arts (2014) and Cold Comfort, Ikon Gallery, Birmingham & Mead Gallery, Coventry (1996).
Her work was recently included in the major Arts Council Collection show Breaking the Mould: Sculpture by Women since 1945 (Yorkshire Sculpture Park; Djanogly Gallery, University of Nottingham; Levinsky Gallery & The Box, Plymouth; Ferens Art Gallery, Hull and The New Arts Gallery, Walsall, 2021 - 2023) and If Not Now, When? Generations of Women in Sculpture in Britain, 1960 - 2022, Hepworth Wakefield and Saatchi Gallery, London (2023). At Home with Art, Tate & Hayward Touring (2000), featured Permindar's Shower Curtain (2000)."
