Siri Devi Khandavilli is an Indian artist originally from Bengaluru and now based out of New York, works across painting, performance, video and installation to create visual art rooted in traditional Indian techniques and yet transcends cultural specificity to hint at more significant commentaries about the nature of the present. She employs various methods, processes, and diverse approaches by co-opting the language of sculpture to painting, printmaking to sculpture, and so forth.
Siri wants her Art to be timeless yet visual articulations of contemporary experience. She is interested in global cultural migrations, the perception and history of the femme body in art, and how tradition transmutes across time and place. In her creative pursuits, she seeks to engage with an expansive range of influences, encompassing politics, literature, cinema, mythologies, and music. She is not confined to any particular medium, finding freedom in expressing her ideas through various channels as she deems fit.
