It is in Cognac (France), until October 12th, that Parmeet Kaur‘s exhibition, Connection, will explore the relationships that connect culture, nature, and humanity. Inspired by the historical ties between India and France, Parmeet’s work pays tribute to the shared heritage of both nations while celebrating the diversity of the natural world.
“India and France have been intertwined for centuries through vibrant trade routes and cultural exchanges.”
Parmeet reflects on this legacy in her art, weaving Indian influences into her work while living in France. Her pieces resonate with both historical and contemporary elements, creating a dialogue that spans time and space.
Parmeet Kaur’s artistic journey linking culture, heritage, and the natural world
At the heart of Connection is Parmeet’s belief in the inseparable bond between nature and humanity. She emphasizes the importance of embracing the five elements and senses, reminding us that nature’s beauty is found everywhere—in textiles, objects, and even within ourselves. As she explains, “Nature’s palette cannot be confined to a single surface.”
The exhibition also highlights Parmeet’s innovative use of mycelium, a fungal organism she elevates by adorning it with gold and bee byproducts. This choice not only highlights mycelium’s critical role in sustaining life but also reflects her vision of sustainability and respect for nature.
Connection invites visitors to reflect on their relationship with nature and humanity, urging them to honor the earth as they inhabit it. Parmeet’s work is a tribute to heritage, sustainability, and the interconnectedness of life.
