LILIA UMANA-CLARKE
‘I try to explore ideas, relationships and states of mind, combining geometric abstraction with more expressive sculpture,’ Lilia Umana-Clarke
Lilia Umana-Clarke was born in Colombia and trained there as an architect, before coming to England and studying Art at the University of Westminster. She frequently sculpts human figures and animals, favouring horses, hares (see above) and cats. The texture of these figures is often sandy and grainy and their colours are also reminiscent of the beach – sea blues and greens, granite greys and the ivories of shell and worn bone. Early South American civilisations inspire her work.
There is a tenderness to many of the coupled figures in particular – as the heads of humans and of hares often touch slightly. This gentle, subtly romantic approach is taken a stage further in ‘Two Hares Vase’, where the rim of the vase has a suggestion of a heart to its rim. Umana-Clarke’s sculptures are very distinctive, with their sloping curves and natural colours, yet each piece is totally individual and lovingly created.
