Drawing on a wide range of sources including art history, mythology, poetry, theatre, religion, science and natural history, Raqib Shaws paintings reflect the artists unique vision. In paintings, works on paper and sculpture, Shaws approach is transgressive, an artistic journey explored through highly personal, opulent and fantastical imagery, offering a cultural hybridity that combines iconography from both East and West. Rendering their classical architecture with exacting detail, Shaw transforms the religious scenes of the originals by bringing in elements of his Peckham studio in south London, the landscape of his childhood home in Kashmir, Hindu iconography and Japanese architecture. Contributors: James Hall, is a writer and author of The Self-Portrait: A Cultural History (Thames & Hudson, 2014).
