Released in 2021 in a limited edition of 100 (and selling out within minutes), Tiger (2021) depicts a subject matter that is very typical of the artist's distinctive style. The brightly coloured Tiger motif was used as the concept art for her neon light tiger sculpture, a key feature of her incredible display for Tate’s Winter Commission: Remembering a Brave New World, 2020-21. Decorating Tate Britain’s iconic façade, the work was a shining beacon of hope for many London-based art lovers – a bright, lively installation, which remained accessible throughout the winter lockdowns of 2020.
1957 Bootle, United Kingdom
Chila Kumari Burman (Punjabi: ਚਿਲਾ ਕੁਮਾਰੀ ਬਰਮਨ) is a British artist. A significant figure in the Black British Art movement of the 1980s, Burman was one of the first British Asian female artists to have a monograph written about her work: Lynda Nead's Chila Kumari Burman: Beyond Two Cultures (1995), and a second monograph by Nead was published in 2012.
In 2018, Burman received an honorary doctorate from University of the Arts London for her impact and recognised legacy as a British and International artist. In 2020, Burman was selected into the Art Workers' Guild as a Brother.
