Rina Banerjee

Indian visual artist.

Rina Banerjee emigrated at a very young age with her family to London, then to the United States, where she obtained her degree in painting and engraving at Yale in 1995, maintaining a close relationship with her country of origin through regular stays in Asia. Marked by this oscillation between two cultures, his work, with a complex reading, is interested very early in the theme of migration through a reflection on memory, experience, the mobility of communities, the local and the global . She generally questions the notion of identity and also looks at femininity and sorority.

Note that the Guimet museum recently exhibited his works in 2011 as part of the “Indian Season".
