Simmi Khanna
Active since 2013
Simmi Khanna (b. 1965) is a visual artist based in Delhi, whose extensive travels to various cities and industrial towns have infused her artworks with urban landscapes and structures, often unconsciously. The artist endeavours to depict the complexities of modern city life through her work. Khanna does not meticulously plan her compositions; rather, her artworks evolve intuitively over time, reflecting her use of diverse materials. Working in mixed media, she incorporates found objects such as hangtags, expired credit/ATM cards, garment wash care labels, dried acrylic paint blobs, wrappers, magazine/newspaper clippings, POP, house paint, candle wax, nylon mesh, acrylics, oil paints, scraps of bandage/cloth, twigs, and threads. She believes this creative process is deeply rooted in her upbringing.
