“CUTLine”: new studio work from the astounding Indian sculptor and mixed-media artist ANURADHA (Anu) PATEL
Anu was born in Gujarat, India and moved to England in 1972, having spent a few years in Uganda, East Africa. After her secondary education in Essex, she went onto study BA Fine Art at Lanchester Poly. Coventry. Her Public Art career flourished in the UK through the 1980s and 90s where she pioneered laser cut steel sculpture to great acclaim. A short visit down under in 2006 convinced her that she wanted the next stage of her career to be based in the landscape and light of Australia. After four hectic years here, it is clear she is forging new directions for her famed "cut lines" from her studio in Darley, Victoria. Her recent cut paper, lino and light gauge metal works characteristically brim with energy but on a more intimate scale than previously seen in Anu's works. She manages this transition without losing any of her feel for the cherished qualities of her cultural heritage in its decorative and stylistic use of line, form and pattern, evolved from a close study of the natural world.
