Lea Rose Kara

Lea Rose Kara is a multidisciplinary artist working across sculpture and drawing. Her practice is grounded conceptually in biology, archaeology, and epistemology, with her artworks exploring themes of Ecology and the manipulation of nature through materials such as resin, bronze, wool, and chalk. 

She holds an MA degree in Sculpture from the Royal College of Art (2022), a BA (Honors) degree from Bath Spa University, and studied at City & Guilds of London Art School (2017). Rose Kara has completed residencies at Porthleven in Cornwall (2019, Prize Winner), the Freud Museum, London (2021), and Standpoint Gallery, London (2022). Awards have supported her to work in Italy with artists specialising in glass, printmaking, and sculpture, and in 2018 she was mentored by British sculptor Julian Wild through the Public Monuments and Sculpture Association.

Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, including In Between (solo, RuptureXIBIT, London), MIXTAPE (Pi Artworks, London), Brighten up the Night (Yuan Art Museum, China), and projects with Hypha Studios. Most recently, Rose Kara lectured at The Courtauld Institute of Art symposium “Distilling Reality: Artists as Alchemists.”
