Tarla Patel at IKEA

This window installation is a celebration of Coventry’s creativity. For January 2022, The Show Windows spotlights five local artists who produce dynamic, emotional artworks that are creating a visual language that profiles the / a local Coventry dynamism. Each artist encourages us to think about Coventry, its communities, public spaces, architecture and creative legacy.

Tarla’s lenticular pieces have been created as a collage from her and her father's (Masterji) photographs. The story within them shows the link to three generations of women in Tarla’s family and their lives in Coventry mixing and blending together with one generation impacting and inspiring the next.
