Permindar Kaur (born 1965, in Nottingham) is a visual artist. [1] She was included in the British Art Show in 1996. [2] She is shortlisted for the Freelands Award 2022 for her upcoming exhibition at John Hansard Gallery. [3]
Kaur was born in Nottingham to Punjabi parents. [1] She gained a BA from Sheffield City Polytechnic in 1989, an MA from Glasgow School of Art in 1992 and spent several years in Barcelona in the early 1990s. [4]
Kaur emerged to prominence during the 1990s. [1] Her work is often concerned with themes surrounding the home, domestic life and childhood. The structure of the house itself frequently appears in her sculpture in works such as Overgrown House (2020). [5] Items of domestic furniture such as beds and chairs also appear, often in outsized or distorted forms, resulting in an effect that is slightly ‘disconcerting’ or ‘unnerving’ as art historian Eddie Chambers has noted. [6]
