Press Release

This display showcases sculpture and installation by Rana Begum RA, highlighting the artist’s ongoing investigation into the interaction between colour, light and form and how these operate within two and three-dimensional space.

In the Private Dining Room at José Pizarro, a suspended installation investigates the spatial possibilities of galvanised mesh. Whilst this piece is reminiscent of previous mesh works, the movement within these materials creates a disrupted geometry that allows for a more organic form of expression.

All works are available for sale, generating revenue for the artist and the RA.

About the Artist
