Kris Lamba (b. London, 1984) is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice encompasses sculpture, painting, and collectible design. Working with industrial biopolymers in their molten state, Lamba harnesses extreme temperatures, gravity, pressure, and force to create forms of striking organic intensity. His pioneering process of polymer-stretching allows material and chance to determine each work’s final character, evoking structures that appear grown rather than constructed—primordial, fluid, and otherworldly.
Balancing experimentation with meticulous craftsmanship, Lamba develops his works through custom-engineered machinery, stretching, freezing, and reheating polymers before refining them through bronze casting, precious metals, pigments, and composite resins. His practice is informed by an early training in classical percussion and subsequent studies in contemporary design, bringing together discipline, rhythm, and material rebellion. The resulting sculptures and reliefs push matter to its limits, occupying space with an elemental presence that is at once visceral, refined, and sublime.
