Prem Sahib is a queer British artist, born of a Polish mother and Indian father. They grew up in Southall, a mostly Asian neighbourhood on the outskirts of London, and felt the full force of exclusion on account of their race and gender preference while growing up. Their work engages with issues relating to queerness and sexuality, often highlighting the plight of vulnerable minorities and how institutions and societies deprive them of their rights and safety. The artist’s work frequently features minimalist forms that are destabilised by the content they invest them with. They merge the personal with the political in work that ranges from painting and sculpture to sound pieces and environmental installations marked by their formal precision and clean aesthetic.
