Keroshin is a South African born Tamil artist working on Gadigal land.

Keroshin’s works reference rituals, practices, knowledge and stories that have been fragmented over time. As a descendent of Indian indentured labourers taken to KwaZulu-Natal, he investigates how some of these practices have been enriched through engagement with other South African cultures, while others have been discarded through forced assimilation during colonial and apartheid years. 

They layering aspects of time, culture, and history are explored via the language of painting, and with symbols and materials loaded with meaning. Besides familial knowledge, he draws inspiration from theorists exploring racialisation (W.E.B. Dub Bois and C. Robinson) and orientalism (E. W. Said) as well as artists living between multiple cultures (N.A. Crosby) and investigating our contemporary relationship to slavery (K. Walker).
