Kunel Gaur
b 1980 New Delhi, India, lives and works in Toronto, Canada

Kunel Gaur melds the utilitarian rigor of 90s functionalism with a stripped-down, minimalist ethos to channel a nostalgic futurism—where clarity becomes cryptic, and irony is woven into directness. The deconstructed bricolages made of plexiglass, steel, wood, tile, and oil distill complexity into stark simplicity, exploring a layered interplay of form and content. Selected exhibitions include We Were Always Neighbours, Monnaie De Paris Museum, Paris, France (2025); Post Future Era, Gagné Contemporary, Toronto, Canada (2024); Futur Proche, Apre Art House, Mumbai, India (2022); Information Architecture, Method, Mumbai, India (2021); Folklores From Future, AGENC Colab, New Delhi, India (2020). Gaur holds a BFA in Design from Wigan & Leigh College, Wigan, England (2002).
