She works predominantly using mixed media, acrylic and ballpoint-pens on heavy-weight paper. Her early influences were miniature paintings and late 80’s comic books like MAD magazine. She completed an M.A. with distinction at Central St. Martins College, London in 2007, following a B.A. at Camberwell College of Art. She was short-listed for the Mercury Art Prize in 2007 and has exhibited in group-shows in London at the Maritime Museum in Greenwich & The Mall Galleries at the ICA. Shroff has also recently had a solo show in Mumbai’s Sitara Studios and is currently working on a new set of personal works as well as collaborating with Kulture Shop, a collective of designers and illustrators in Bombay. She currently lives and works in London. Shroff’s work is figurative and occasionally surreal – utilising bright colours and humour with darker undertones. Androgynous bird characters and humans enact fantasy scenes, mostly in mundane and domestic landscapes. Her work explores a range of themes including birth, pregnancy, relationships, sexual identity and gender; from the worship of fertility, both historic and modern within the ‘Goddess’ series to the more dystopian set of both organic and mechanical in ‘the Queen’ and ‘The Breeders’. The ‘Arsonist’s Ball’ and ‘Motel’ document aspects of relationships and voyeurism while ‘Bucket Bath’ is part of a new series set in fantasy landscapes with lurking worlds hidden from us. ______________________________________________________ Many thanks to our banner artist Sandhya Prabhat for the gorgeous cover photo illustration.
