Biography
R K Saini's practice is rooted in a lifelong inquiry into energy, form, and the spaces where the two meet or part ways. Working predominantly in acrylic and oil on canvas, Saini builds surfaces that are simultaneously gestural and considered: each work bearing the evidence of its own making.
Saini works from Gurugram, India.
