A feast of colour and texture, Chila Burman's new major monograph—presented here in a stunning neon Perspex slipcase, etched front and back with Burman's own designs—celebrates one of Britain's most exciting contemporary artists and her extraordinary body of work from across four decades. Each copy is signed by the artist in this exclusive limited Collector's Edition.

Chila Burman is known for her radical feminist practice, her joyful neon light installations, and her use of kaleidoscopic colours. Exploring the experiences and aesthetics of Asian femininity and female empowerment, and drawing on popular culture, her work has consistently strived to challenge stereotypes and to champion equality.

This new major monograph on the artist brings together Burman's extraordinary body of work from across four decades. Featuring paintings, prints, neons, installation, and video works, and a range of perspectives, it explores the ideas central to Burman's practice, as well as her unique style.
