Acclaimed visual artist Rana Begum RA transforms our historic staircase with her iconic suspended, colourful mesh clusters, creating a vibrant blend of history and contemporary art.
The monumental installation, crafted specifically for our historic staircase, features Begum’s iconic colourful mesh clusters (often referred to as ‘clouds’). Each unique configuration brings vibrant colour and organic forms to the 18th-century townhouse, blending history and contemporary art. The gridded material will spill over the landing balcony and through the middle of the staircase. It will allow visitors to experience the artwork from multiple angles.
Rana Begum’s work is known for blurring the boundaries between sculpture, painting, and architecture. It will bring a unique harmony of light, texture, and geometry to the Gallery. Begum draws inspiration from urban landscapes and traditional Islamic art, using light as a fundamental medium to create immersive visual experiences.
Join us from 20 July to experience the magic of Rana Begum’s latest creation.
