Description:	'The title of Kher’s work, "Fugue", is a direct reference to the musical term meaning to 'seek out', the surface is totally unified by repetitive mark making in a subtle range of blues and greys. There is no point of drama where you can fix your focus. The work is not meant to be resolved, it does not have a beginning and end, but instead it has limitless possibilities, two dimensional equivalents for complex and abstract ideas.'
