Nature Morte is pleased to present Ragini Bhow’s debut solo exhibition.Bringing together a new body of paintings and sculptures, the exhibition explores transformation, materiality, and the hidden structures of the natural world. The exhibition takes its point of departure from bolting, a botanical response to environmental extremity in which plants prematurely flower and produce seeds as a means of preservation.Working across wood, pigment, clay, metal, ash and stone, Bhow builds intricate surfaces through painstaking processes of marking, grinding and burning. Her paintings bring botanical and cellular structures into focus, while her sculptures use fire as an agent of transformation. Ash from the fired works is collected and incorporated into subsequent paintings, creating a material cycle between destruction and renewal.Geometry and repetition run throughout the exhibition as both visual language and meditative practice. Across these works, materials become carriers of time and memory: wood holds the traces of growth, stone records geological forces, ash registers transformation, and seeds contain the possibility of what is yet to come.
