Artist Chila Kumari Singh Burman MBE has created a new commission for the outside of the Royal Pavilion. Exploring its role as a hospital for wounded Indian soldiers during the First World War, Chila’s colourful neon sculptures also draw on the spectacle of the Pavilion interiors, where Asian symbols and motifs intermingle with signs of British imperialism. Chila’s work often explores the cultural syntheses she experienced growing up in Britain.
