JUNGLEE JUNGLE

"The Junglee Jungle: A Glo-cal Garden of British Identity"

"The Junglee Jungle: A Glo-cal Garden of British Identity" delves into the intricacies of British identity within the UK's Indian diaspora, drawing from the artist's experiences across six Commonwealth countries. After spending 25 years in Asia, returning to London becomes a source of inspiration, where immigrant communities flourish, mirroring the artist's own untamed 'junglee' spirit. In this lush composition set against a metropolitan skyline, the artist documents one of the waves of present-day arrivals straight from the agricultural basket of India – the Punjab. She wonders about the contrasting landscapes (both inner and outer) of the immigrants, and how they will fold their subjective realities into this ever morphing anthropological stageset called Britain.  Just as the seasons of nature change, the cyclical nature of existence is portrayed, resonating with the regenerative essence of British identity. Immersed in London's immigrant milieu, the artwork evokes the interconnectedness of our shared post-colonial human experience, reflecting on the vibrant and diverse 'jungle' of cultures shaping modern Britain.

(For humid countries e.g Singapore, C-type Fuji paper is advised as it is does not let moisture and mould through)

  Acrylic Screen Prints: Back printed on glossy acrylic glass, and come with a wooden frame. 

  Our acrylic prints are no less than 5 mm thick and are finished with a thick black premium foil on the back. This protects the print and gives extra depth and colour brilliance to the end result. In addition, our acrylic prints are made from 70% recycled acrylic.  

  HD Metal Prints: Printed on aluminium

  HD Metal consists of a thin aluminium plate with a special coating on top. We then use a unique dye sublimation technique to apply the artwork onto it. The result is a phenomenally razor sharp resolution which makes the overall look very contemporary and vibrant.  The material we use is scratch-resistant and waterproof so it can be used for outdoor use too. The high-gloss version is the successor of plexiglass prints however it is lighter, stronger and has a luscious colour spectrum!  HD Metal  beautifully juxtaposes the classic and traditional with state of the art technology,  resulting in frameless, shiny Art that looks timeless as it 'floats' off the wall.

  Both Acrylic and Metal Prints are always supplied with a free prefitted hanging system with spacer, so ready to hang immediately.  All you need is a screw in the wall, and they will hang firm and flat against the wall.
