Art Collector: Kirtika Kain’s exhibition Corpus

2019-07-12

Delhi Born, Sydney-based NAS alumna Kirtika Kain makes her commercial exhibition debut at Roslyn Oxley9.

Last year, Delhi-born, Sydney-based artist Kirtika Kain sold all of her 14 works at the National Art School Postgraduate Exhibition. This included her majestic, tar-tinged Pitch, a sizeable work that caught the eye of eminent Sydney gallerist Roslyn Oxley. Kain makes her commercial exhibition debut at Oxley’s prestigious Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery in Sydney this week in collaboration with the Art Incubator program – a spectacular accolade for any young talent.
