Sheela Gowda (Template:Lang-kn, born 1957 in Bhadravati, India) is a contemporary artist living and working in Bangalore.[1] Trained as a painter Gowda expanded her practice into sculpture and installation employing a diversity of material like human hair, cow-dung, incense and kum kum powder (a natural pigment most often available in brilliant red). She is known for her 'process-orientated' work,[2] inspired by everyday labor experiences of marginalized people in India. Her work is often associated with Post Minimalism drawing from ritualistic associations.[citation needed]

Work

Gowda moved into installation and sculpture in the 1990s in response to the changing political landscape in India. She had her first solo show at Iniva, London UK entitled Therein and Besides in 2011[3] and her work has gone on to reach international acclaim; she was a finalist for the Hugo Boss Award in 2014.[ citation needed] she creates apocalyptic landscapes using materials such as incense and kum kum drawing a direct relationship between the labor practices of the incense industry and its treatment towards women.[4]
