Galerie Peter Kilchmann is pleased to announce the representation of Amol K Patil.

Amol K Patil (b. 1987, Mumbai, India; lives and works in Mumbai and Amsterdam) is a conceptual and performance artist whose practice unfolds across sculpture, installation, drawing, video, sound, and performance. Grounded in personal and collective histories, his work excavates the layered experiences of labour, migration, and social marginalisation, particularly as they resonate through the hierarchies of caste and class that shaped his upbringing in Mumbai’s chawl neighbourhoods. Drawing on the archival legacies of his grandfather, a Powada poet, and his father, an avant-garde playwright, Patil treats artistic production as a form of counter-memory - inviting audiences into poetic yet exacting reflections on labour, movement, and visibility.

Working at the intersection of memory and materiality, Patil employs kinetic devices, repeated gestures, bodies in motion, and architectural traces to unsettle dominant narratives of urban life and human disposability. His installations often operate as choreographed environments, where light, sound, and fragmented bodies hover between presence and erasure.

Amol K Patil’s upcoming exhibition at Galerie Peter Kilchmann, The Shadow of Lustre, opens with a reception on Thursday 26 February.
