Bhajan Hunjan: Speaking Through Materials brings together works from across Hunjan’s 40-year canon, enabling a recognition of her work to date with examples from in and outside the studio. Her artwork has consistently demonstrated an innovation in materials, whether it be developing unique print techniques or pushing contractors to cast concrete in new ways. Over 30 beautifully printed image plates – many previously unseen – together with exploratory texts tell these stories, weaving in the importance of Hunjan’s heritage and those she met along the way. Hunjan’s quest to place herself and others in the world will resonate with both the young and old – her works have succeeded in speaking to school children, public art commissioners, gallery audiences, community groups, political movements and collectors. Her work is represented in major public collections including Tate, Cartwright Hall Art Gallery, Reading Museum and Art Gallery and the British Museum.
