Illusion of Time

Illusion of Time brings together a series of paintings on Wasli paper, a traditional material first developed in India more than a thousand years ago.

A recurring female figure moves through memory, myth, and the places where past, present, and future meet. Drifting between lily pads and popsicles, misty oceans and games of Pachisi, she walks not as a captive of time, but as a witness to it.

For Kamaldeep Kaur, time is shaped by memory and contemplation. Her paintings give form to imagination, illuminating interior worlds where beauty, ritual, play, and love endure across time and distance.

Working with gouache and natural pigments, Kaur draws on the traditions of Indian miniature painting and a meditation practice rooted in stillness and observation.

The exhibition will run from July 9 to January 9 in the Corridor Gallery, located on the third floor. Open Monday through Friday, 8am-5pm and Saturdays from 9am-4pm.

Kamaldeep Kaur, born and raised in India and now based in Ontario, has exhibited throughout India, Canada, the United States, and Germany. She is currently an Artist in Residence at the Art Gallery of Burlington. Her work explores the self and surroundings, an ongoing dialogue between her inner experiences and the external world. As she continues to evolve personally and artistically in her new Canadian home, she remains committed to expressing the universal emotions that connect us all, drawing on the rich tapestry of cultures that surround her.
