Rana Begum: WP641

The work of London-based 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 her process. Begum’s works absorb and reflect
varied densities of light to produce an experience for the viewer that is both temporal
and sensorial.
