conversations with contemporary artists
about practice, identity and presence
across digital and physical space
LEA ROSE KARA
Lea Rose Kara’s practice explores the intersection of nature, science and archaic magick. Working with wool, resin, bronze and pigments made from flowers, berries and mushrooms, she treats organic matter as both subject and sculptural material. Her wall-based wool sculptures often have an alien-like presence, while their colours begin with foraging and field research. Drawing on biology, archaeology and epistemology, she questions how knowledge shapes our relationship with nature.
Originally from Kyiv and now based in London, Kara completed an MA in Sculpture at the Royal College of Art in 2022, was selected for the 2025 Ingram Prize, and is currently longlisted for The Artist Prize 2026.
ART-WEB is an independent editorial space for conversations with contemporary artists about their practice, identity and presence across digital and physical spaces.
Through interviews and visual features, the platform explores the ideas, materials and decisions that shape each artist’s work. From the studio to the exhibition space, from printed matter to the web, every conversation reveals a distinct approach to making, presenting and communicating art.
