Kulbir Bhandal graduated from Camberwell College of Arts where she studied Fine Art and Art History .
She worked as an art educator in London alongside running a design studio before moving to the Jurassic Coast in Dorset and reconnecting with her painting practice.
Mostly working with acrylics on canvas and paper, she draws inspiration from a mixture of observed, imagined and past spaces . The natural world is often abstracted to simpler forms which build through a dialogue, where form , feeling and memory find cohesive balance .
Her paintings explore how connection to place and belonging is nurtured . Born in rural India, growing up in London and now living in an intentional community in rural England, culturally and physically 'finding place' has become a source of inspiration from which she aims to distill her collective experiences of 'home’.
