Russna Kaur

Artist member since 2018
Richmond, British Columbia

Emerging artist, Russna Kaur's work engages spaces of wonder such as cinemas, festivals, amusement parks and market places. Using mixed media to investigate the affective impact of such sites on the individual, she attempts to recreate the childlike essence of these invigorating sites through abstraction. Kaur is a graduate of the University of Waterloo obtaining her Honours BA in Fine Arts. She has shown at multiple juried exhibitions and her works can be found in private and corporate collections including The Colart Collection. Kaur is currently a Master of Fine Arts candidate at the Emily Carr University of Art + Design and has been shortlisted for the SSRCH Canada Graduate Scholarship.
