Suhasini Kejriwal Kolkata, India, b.1973
Suhasini Kejriwal (b. 1973, Kolkata, India) is a Kolkata-based artist whose practice synthesizes painting, drawing, photography, and collage into richly layered compositions that explore perception, surface, and the accumulation of visual information. Her kaleidoscopic works foreground materiality, detail, and shifting viewpoints, sustaining attention to the textures of both natural and constructed worlds.
Kejriwal received her BFA from Parsons School of Design, New York, and her MFA from Goldsmiths, University of London. Her work has been presented at major international platforms including Frieze Sculpture, London, curated by Fatoş Üstek, where Nature Morte presented her work in 2023. The work subsequently travelled to Yorkshire Sculpture Park, where it remained on view until late 2025.
Her solo exhibitions include presentations at Nature Morte, New Delhi (2005, 2007, 2014, 2020), Chemould Prescott Road, Mumbai (2008), Anokhi Museum, Jaipur (2009), Galerie Christian Hosp, Berlin (2010), and Gallery SKE, Bengaluru (2004), among others. She has participated in numerous institutional group exhibitions internationally.
Kejriwal was a fellow of Hamdasti (2017–2019) and a Visiting Fellow at the South Asia Institute, Harvard University (2020).
She currently lives and works in Kolkata, India.
