Colour, light and space are at play in this vibrant screenprint by Royal Academician Rana Begum. This edition grew from an ongoing series of spray paintings Begum has been developing over several years. Initially inspired by the paper used to test spray cans in the studio, the paintings contribute to the artist’s continued exploration into transparency, colour interaction and repetition. The result is an organic layering of colour and form that marks a departure from Begum’s previous language of ordered geometry and minimalism.
Adapting these paintings into screenprints, introduces order and intentionality into this process, pushing the work in a new direction. Print 94 continues an ongoing dialogue between order and chaos, the accidental and the intentional, that lies at the heart of Begum’s practice.
Published as an edition of 40, each print is signed and numbered by the artist and presented in a portfolio. Printed in the RA Schools with printmaker Leigh Clarke.

Influenced by the minimalist and constructivist works of artists such as Donald Judd, Agnes Martin and Tess Jaray RA, Rana Begum’s wide-ranging practice renders spatial and visual experience into ordered form.

The RA Editions programme generates valuable revenue for the RA and in particular the RA Schools.

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...
