‘Bengal: Cloud’ by Gerry Judah

Jay Merrick, 5 April 2025

Ben Uri is proud to have acquired Bengal: Cloud by Gerry Judah for its Pre-eminent Collection in March 2025. This striking sculpture is part of Judah’s acclaimed Bengal series, originally commissioned by Arts Council England for the thought-provoking Tipping Point exhibition at Wolverhampton Art Gallery in 2013.

Describing the work in 2020, art critic Jay Merrick observed: “a tiny perfectly made metal rickshaw supports a billowing, cloud like structure” capturing the sculpture’s poignant juxtaposition of delicacy and weight.
