From the artist:
ivory hunters, rubber merchants, labor traders, farm hands, like ancient tree, Banyan tree threw it's tangerine roots from his pale mouth, scraped the earth of wealth with bodies jumping, swaying and swirling, black and brown limbs flying, small hands churning to feed the cream she made with this crimson flesh to colonial kings too far to see, so make them sing with no remorse while nature and savage flicker, to cease upon a candles glow,
About Rina Banerjee:
Rina Banerjee is a mid-career artist based in New York City. Originally from Kolkata, she creates multi-faceted sculptures, paintings and drawings, fusing boundaries between East and West. Banerjee’s choice of material and subject matter question the experiences of femininity, climate change, migration, commerce, and identity in a globalized world. Her sculptures place in conversation cultural objects, textiles, domestic items, mythologies, as well as the material residue of colonialism.
Banerjee has received considerable international recognition, recently a traveling retrospective (Frist Art Museum in Nashville, San Jose Museum of Art, Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts), survey exhibition at Museé Guimet in Paris, participation in the 55th and 57th Venice Biennale. She has also been included in important group exhibitions, including Centre Pompidou, National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, Kiran Nadar Museum of Art, Whitney Museum of American Art, Metropolitan Museum of Art, among others.
