Reena Saini Kallat (b. Delhi 1973) graduated from the Sir J. J. School of Art, Mumbai in 1996 with a B. F. A. in painting. Her practice - spanning painting, photography, video and sculptural installations - frequently deals with the condition of an individual in a rapidly changing society, ever susceptible to being reduced to an anonymous and forgotten statistic. Kallat is interested in constructing images that seem to change and transform by the possibilities they carry for the generation of meaning through a calibrated interplay of image and form.

Over the last decade her work has been part of many important exhibitions, across the world. She has had ten solo exhibitions in India and abroad, collectively, and participated in a number of workshops and residencies. She lives and works in Mumbai.
