Tiger my Jaan means ‘Tiger my Love’ in Hindi. Chila Kumari Singh Burman grew up helping her father with his locally renowned ice cream van business in 1960s Liverpool. Burman’s practice playfully explores autobiography, identity and representation through the juxtaposition of the bright colours of advertising, and the aesthetics of the freewheeling 60s and 70s, with those of Hindu imagery and personal family ephemera, overlaid with tongue-in-cheek innuendo. Burman’s work was exhibited at the SLG in The Place is Here, 2017 and Knock Knock, 2018.
