Jaskamal Dhesi

Jaskamal Dhesi Kaur’s work invites us on a journey of metamorphosis and introspection. Aftertaking a long break from painting, Kaur demonstrates her emotional transformation byabandoning her usual choice of a dark color palette and dreary subjects, in favor of the brightand abstract.

For this Amsterdam-based artist, there is no separation of the art from the artist. Kaur always lets her soul guide her creative process, and finds herself surprised by the final result each time.

The series of abstract paintings exhibited at UNKnowN are a reflection of her personal rebirth: she finds herself completely disinterested in the darker matters she was previously so drawn to. The bright colors interweave with each other in delicate lines, or dominate the canvas with bold splashes of color. The vigor emanating from the canvas reminds us of the often exhausting, and sometimes even violent, process of personal change. And yet, the energetic orchestra of colors and shapes reminds us that this change can breathe new life into us, expanding our lungs.
