"Absence of God III…" (2008) by Raqib Shaw |
CZECH REPUBLIC---
Galerie Rudolfinum in Prague is currently exhibiting a selection of
Raqib Shaw’s recent works. His array of works ranges from intricate bejewelled paintings on canvas to painted bronzes.
Raqib Shaw creates a surreal juxtaposition of mythical forms against metaphysical spaces set in a dreamy atmosphere. The characters populating his works are half-human, half-animal and they live only according to their instinct. The background of his paintings, contrasts this surreal atmosphere showing nuances of Oriental motifs as well as Greco-Roman thematic influences. [
