Ruchika’s artistic practice is predominantly centred around the ideas of mark- making in the history of painting and different forms of representations from the South-Asian perspectives. Ruchika’s practice revolves around ideas of unknown spaces, forms of continuums , as she works with various traces and intentional scratches to generate a layered sense of dialogue between history, present and possible imagined futures. Very interestingly the works open visual experiences to materialise different dimensions to co- associate, relate and generate multiple meanings. 

As Ruchika states, “I work with layers and forms. After a certain point of time my interest is to look at the forms, and how they divide the spaces very differently. The biggest challenge is where to stop and from where to take the forms further to generate a psychological space. A sense of un- recognisability as a form of imagination has been an integral part of my process and how through the forms of this un-recognisability there are space of relativity that can be accessed at different levels through my body of works”. The works from the exhibition is a great combination to incorporate mark-making as a conscious choice and different forms of monumentality through which a space of enhance visibility can be generated. The works, in that way, reflect a unique sensibility of thickness and transparency, both materially and metaphorically.
