Press Release
COOPER COLE is pleased to present It splits off, gently lifting under the pull, a solo exhibition of new paintings by Russna Kaur. This marks the artist’s first presentation with the gallery.
The exhibition brings together a group of large-scale, multi-panel paintings that operate in the space between what is visible and what remains concealed. Resistant to immediate interpretation, the works sustain a sense of ambiguity, allowing forms and meanings to shift over time.
Through mark-making, composition, and scale, the paintings gesture toward memory and identity before dissolving back into abstraction. Bright, vibrant colours initially appear playful but quickly give way to friction and instability. Within this tension, surfaces peel and shift, revealing something unspoken. Kaur’s abstractions carry the weight of personal and cultural histories without fixing meaning, leaving the works open to multiple interpretations, and inviting contemplative engagement.
Layering shapes form the meaning…
