The Founder
Ruchika Grover is an Indian artist who primarily works with natural materials. Her diverse oeuvre spanning surfaces, sculptures, and installations combines the complexity of digital fabrication with the humanism of traditional hand-craft.
Her choice of subjects reveals an investigation into the wonders of the natural world and establishes a critical commentary on man’s relationship with the inner self.
A self-taught artist; her interest in stone primarily blossomed at the age of 14 when she began traveling with her father, a stone merchant, to rock formations and quarries. These early experiences formed the cornerstone of her understanding of materiality and craftsmanship, eventually pushing her to establish Odyssey in 2007, a design studio focused on creating small installations and custom fabrications. In 2017, an intention to bring the tactile nature of Indian craft to the forefront of the global discourse led her to launch Anoma.
The brand, directed at the contemporary international market, celebrates innovation in digital design while staying true to local Indian artisanship.
Grover’s work has been exhibited at leading art and design shows around the world, such as the Scope International Contemporary Art Show in Miami (2017) and the Architectural Digest Design Show in New York (2018). Her work has also brought her widespread international acclaim and recognition including the Elle Deco International Design Award (2015), spots on the shortlist of the Surface Design Awards in London (2016, 2018), a Coverings Installation and Design Award in Atlanta (2018), and the Perspective 40 under 40 Art Award in Hong Kong (2018).
