The artist invites us into the ‘tiny little world’ of her East London studio

Liverpool-born Chila Kumari Singh Burman makes paintings, prints, etchings and moving image works inspired by her Indian heritage.

From bindis to ice cream cornettos, Chila Kumari Singh Burman uses everyday objects in her sculptures and installations and includes herself in her paintings and collages to explore representations of Asian femininity in the West.
