Kris Lamba (b. London, 1984) is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans sculpture, painting, and collectible design. Working beyond the boundaries of traditional media, he employs industrial biopolymers, manipulated in their molten state at extreme temperatures. Through gravity, force, and a pioneering method of polymer-stretching, Lamba conjures forms that seem to echo the primordial energy of cosmic creation—simultaneously violent and sublime.
Rather than impose full control, he establishes parameters of temperature, weight, and pressure, allowing chance and material to shape the outcome. Using custom-engineered machinery, he stretches, freezes, and re-heats the polymers, generating structures that appear grown rather than constructed. These are then meticulously refined, cast in bronze through the lost-wax process, or finished in precious metals, rich pigments, and composite resins.
Creation, for Lamba, is an act of intensity and release: works forged through raw experimentation, later honed by patient craftsmanship. Trained initially as a classical percussionist before studying contemporary design, his practice reflects both discipline and rebellion. His sculptures and reliefs, stretched to the edge of material possibility, transcend traditional frameworks, inhabiting space as fluid, otherworldly presences.
