Sculptures by Juginder Lamba - preview
The Water Hall, Birmingham City Museum and Art Gallery until 26 October
Juginder Lamba was born in Africa, moved to India when he was ten and came to Britain as a young man He says Africa taught him to value nature and its materials, and India opened up a mystical awareness that everything is connected by allusions and meanings which never find a final form This blend of the natural and spiritual is expressed in his sculptures in a way we found deeply satisfying He prefers to work in stone and wood, specially ancient pieces of bog oak, much of which is left uncarved There is one large piece called ‘Birth of rough wood’ with a hole in it, in which rests a tiny baby form He celebrates life in seed-pod forms just breaking open and powerful female figures There are works of strain and pain also and death is encountered in a series of the doomed Icarus
