Jonathan Carver Moore is pleased to present a solo booth of paintings by Anoushka Mirchandani, featuring work created during the gallery’s sophomore artist residency. Mirchandani deploys her painting practice as an act of agency, locating, and relocating, aspects of identity in new contexts under novel circumstances. At a young age, Mirchandani emigrated from India to the United States, where she discovered new liberties as a woman, but also grappled with her newfound identity as an immigrant and the parts of herself she was forced to leave behind. The artist has developed a visual language in her painting practice that parallels these concealed and revealed aspects of the self, which she uses to navigate and express variegated facets of identity.
Anoushka Mirchandani (b. 1988 Pune, India) earned her BA from Denison University, and studied painting at City College, San Francisco, CA. Currently based in San Francisco, she has been an artist-in residence at Jonathan Carver Moore (2024-25) and received a grant from the San Francisco Arts Commission in 2022. Mirchandani has also held residencies at the Wassaic Project, NY; Global Coralition, Sosua, Dominican Republic; KYTA, Ladakh, India; and Aegean Idea Lab, Paros, Greece. The artist has mounted solo exhibitions at Galerie Isa, Mumbai, India; UTA Artist Space, Los Angeles, CA; Rhodes Contemporary Art. London, UK; and Glass Rice Gallery, San Francisco, CA. Mirchandani has exhibited internationally in group exhibitions at Bode Gallery, Berlin, Germany; Legion Projects, Heraldsburg, CA; Knowhere Art Gallery, Martha’s Vineyard, NY; 111 Minna Gallery, Root Division, and Arc Gallery, San Francisco, CA. Mirchandani’s work can be found in the collection of the Museum of Art and Photography, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India.
