ENQUIRE ABOUT THIS WORK



Harminder Judge was born in 1982, he currently lives and works in London. Exploring ideas centred around the universality of condition, tantra, spiritual and cultural cross pollination, Judge’s work takes the form of performance, video, installation and painting. Harminder’s work has engaged with many subjects but there is a continuous exploration of portals, be it spiritual, political, or personal. His paintings engage with a history of abstract image making in India brought about through ritual referencing both the internal and external body and our place within the cosmos. His performance work has brought ancient Indian folklore and mysticism into direct contact with bombastic western contemporary music and live colour field painting; collided, occult inspired, dreamscapes with hazy laser penetrated reverse baptisms; transported field recordings made in his family’s Gurdwara in Punjab, across the world, replaying them through a speaker system lodged in his throat.

Judge completed his BA at Northumbria University in 2005 and received a postgraduate diploma from the Royal Academy Schools in 2020. He has exhibited widely notably including The Royal Academy, London; Halle 14 Centre For Contemporary Art, Leipzig; IKON Gallery, Birmingham; CCA Warsaw and The New Art Gallery Walsall.
