Sunroop Kaur is a visual artist originally from Calgary, Alberta who received her B.F.A from Emily Carr University of Art and Design in 2019 and is currently residing in northern California. Kaur’s work functions similar to an ecosystem, in which cultural cultivation and exchange are visualized. She uses her practice as a vessel to transport critical conversations about race, gender, culture and inherited art histories (Italian Baroque + Classical Schools of Indian Miniature). These interdisciplinary concepts are given the opportunity to converge, transform and generate dialogue, within the Sikh Diaspora. Kaur has been part of many national and international exhibitions. Last summer she had the opportunity to be part of Vancouver Mural Festival, and was one of the main artists that worked on the federal Harry Steven’s building. The building was unnamed in response to the mural and its tragic history concerning the Komagata Maru incident of 1914. Kaur also participated in the Shumka Satellite and SPACE Residency in 2019. Currently she is attending a classical atelier to further her education in historical painting methodologies of the Baroque period and preparing for her solo-exhibition in the fall.
