Artist Talks: Rana Begum

14:30–15:30

Studios & Gardens, Hertfordshire

We can trace Moore’s interest in the relationship between human, natural forms and the environment in the work of a number of contemporary artists working today.

Join us for a series of three talks by leading contemporary artists, who will each reflect on our 2024 theme Inspiration, Sculpture and Our Natural World.

Join us for the final talk in our series, which marks the end of our 2024 season. Rana Begum discusses how Moore’s work and processes relate to her own creative practice and how the natural world inspires her.

About the artist

Rana Begum distils spatial and visual experience into ordered form. Through her refined language of Minimalist abstraction, Begum blurs the boundaries between sculpture, painting and architecture. Her visual language draws from the urban landscape as well as geometric patterns from traditional Islamic art and architecture.

Light is fundamental to Begum’s process. Her works absorb and reflect varied densities of light to produce an experience for the viewer that is both temporal and sensorial.

Recent solo exhibitions include No.1367 Mesh, Pallant House, 2024, and Dappled Light, The Box, Plymouth.
