“A self-taught artist, Shivy’s practice examines larger questions of self-care and compassion. Through lovingly soft but sharp self portraits, Galtere’s paintings exude warmth and self-love. Drawing on her on career in fashion, in recent works Galtere playfully examines the current state of consumer culture, where South Asianness is as much a marketing gimmick as an identity. But even when engaging in this gentle critique, her rendering of the self radiates sensuality and comfort.”
