About the Gallery
Niru Ratnam opened in 2020, exhibiting a diverse roster of artists from across geographies and generations, often focusing on artists from previously underrepresented backgrounds. We work with a mixture of established and early-career artists and are committed to showing wide range of media that includes film, installation and performance as well as painting and sculpture. Several of the artists we represent work across a range of media and we aim to show the breath of their practice when we exhibit them.
The gallery's program builds on Ratnam's earlier career as a writer and academic whose work focused on issues such as postcolonialism and globalisation in relation to modern and contemporary art. Ratnam has a Sri Lankan Tamil heritage and his work in the art world has been committed to the politics of representation, as well as an ability to situate contemporary practices within broader cultural and social contexts.
