- If you're an artist, what kind of art do you make?
- Conceptual, Digital, Drawing, Installation, Painting, Photography
- I am...
- I am a self proclaimed art junkie!
From a very young age I knew what I wanted to do with the rest of my life-I wanted that my passion and profession mean the same. So art became the fabric of my being and exploring physical space my mission.
My thesis show has simply been a re-invention of reality where I document my observations-no philosophies, no far fetched ideas, just me being the good kind of crazy I enjoy being =)
- About my artwork
- I like for my work to speak for itself.. It's important for me to communicate and equally important for the viewer to take from my work, what they can.
Key word: Self explanatory
Photography, is very straight up and simple.
Drawings, mixed media/abstract/conceptual - I thoroughly love and enjoy drawing
Painting; unfortunately for me, I just discovered I am allergic to turpentine oil, so till I can find a reasonable solution, THAT is on hold :)
- Artists I like
- If I were to begin to name them, I wouldn't know where to stop, however, I will try to throw in a FEW names:
Internationally:
David Hockney, Jeff Koons, Warhol, Otto Dix, Matisse, Duchamp, Salvador Dali, Damien Hirst (to a certain extent), Cezanne, Cy Twombly, Degas, Howard Hodkgin, Jasper Johns, Mondiran, Seurat, RAUSCHENBERG, Brancusi, de Kooning, Basquiat, OLITSKI and the list goes on..
Nationally:
Mashkoor, Sumaira Tazeen, Khadam Ali, the Chistis :), Tazeen Qayyum, D. Kazi, Aisha Khalid, Imran Qureshi etc etc..
- Interests
- Varied.. Definately revolving around my passion for and desire to express. Apart from that, love seafood, sailing and the beach.
- What exhibitions are good at the moment?
- At this point in time, group shows and residencies-a good exchange and sense of exposure for both the artist, curator, critic, collector and art enthusiast.
- Centre of the artworld:
- New York, London, LA, Berlin, Beijing, my studio, online, nowhere and everywhere, another city
