This autumn, the Holburne presents Neon Dreams, an installation by Chila Kumari Singh Burman, a contemporary British artist with a widely recognised practice shaped by popular media, history and punjabi cultural identity.
The Glowing Canopies (2023) – the artist’s largest individual neon work to date – lights up the facade of the museum. The multi-coloured neon work presents delicate creations in the shape of trees and bees, depicting a joyful explosion of vibrant colours.
Taking centre stage in the Ballroom is a three dimensional, life size sculpture, My Tiger Janu (2022), a reference to childhood memories of her father’s ice cream van, which was crowned with a magnificent Bengal tiger figurine in the 1960’s.
Holburne Museum’s Curator of Contemporary Art is supported by John Ellerman Foundation and Jerwood Foundation.
