Polo 1 Sculpture

Born and raised in India, Lata currently lives and works in the UK. Lata is a visual artist that specialises in contemporary sculpture and has completed masters in fine art in both India and the Slade School of Art, London. Her work is held in private collections throughout Europe, India, Middle East and the far East. Lata's work reflects upon her own life, the experience of migrating from the East to the West. The journey of migration is depicted in the shape of the circular form, symbolic of the cycle of time. The Circular motif represents how things where, how they changed and how they have returned to natural states of what they were, before Lata's transitional journeys to the west. Further exploration is made through the use of materials, texture, colour and pattern. Through Lata’s extensive travels, she has participated in International Artists Residencies that have allowed her to further explore different mediums and practices. In addition Lata has also been a key activist in establishing an artists community in South Essex and now has established her studio at Acme, High House Production Park in Purfleet, which is home to the Royal Opera House Production Workshop.
