Crystal Tigress by Lauren Baker
Lauren Baker has had a whirlwind journey since her life-changing trip to Peruvian jungle. From the first ever infinity mirror coffin commissioned by Clerkenwell Design Week and displayed at the Tate Britain to multiple immersive installations at the RA, Tate Modern and Britain, Lauren has integrated herself as an irreplaceable fixture in the contemporary London art scene.
Alongside creating neon art, Lauren works with several other mediums including skulls, prints and lenticular to name but a few. Beyond her artwork she is an ambassador for Save Wild Tigers initiative which she created pieces for, the most notable Crystal Tigress - a life-size tiger head encrusted with 52,000 crystals, which fetched £30,000 at auction. Her most ambitious piece, a Steinway grand piano encrusted with half a million crystals, was sold for £420,000 to an influential sheikh in Qatar.
