Roman Lokati (the artist was born in Spain and studied at the London College of Communication. And has worked at the Tate for 5 years. The artist says the sculpture he’s exhibiting in the Tate staff show is the culmination of the work he’s been making over the last 5 years, inspired by his experiences of migration. His series has a title which is, Lost in the City. Roman says: “the work I’m showing at Tate Britain reflects the invisibility and isolation of the refugee today… I want to make their stories more visible which is why these sculptures made from steel are painted in primary, bright colours.
