I paint in layers, then argue with them. Colour is felt, not named — an archive made between India, Singapore, and Germany.
Rushit Shah was born on 8 September 1986 in Vadodara, Gujarat. He lives and works between India, Singapore, and Germany, and divides the studio year between the three. He is colourblind, and treats this not as a limitation but as the origin of his method: unable to rely on the names of colours, he learned to read what a colour weighs against its neighbour. The paintings are records of those small, almost physical decisions — built in successive layers of oil, lacquer, drip, scraped pigment, and dispersed mineral on linen and canvas, then argued with until something refuses to give way.
