Raqib Shaw is an Indian-born British artist whose work is as vibrant and ornate in color and detail as it is ambitious in scope, with a remarkable synergy between his fantastical and often violent imagery and the delicacy of his technique. Deeply inspired by the old masters but infused with his own personal iconography, and drawing equally on eastern and western mythology, his work represents a compelling and profoundly contemporary hybridization of aesthetics and sensibilities. His opulent and intricately detailed paintings of fantastical worlds, often with surfaces inlaid with vibrantly colored jewels and painted in enamel, reveal an eclectic fusion of influences from Persian carpets and Northern Renaissance painting to industrial materials and Japanese lacquerware but ultimately reflect the universality of the human condition. Collected here, in the first comprehensive monograph on the artist to date, are more than 100 of Shaw s works, representing thirty years of painting in which intricate detail, rich color, and bejeweled surfaces mask the intensity and depth of his imagery.
Raqib Shaw is an Indian-born British artist living and working in London since 1993. He has had solo exhibitions at Tate Modern, London (2006), The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (2008), Manchester Art Gallery (2013), Galerie Rudolfinum, Prague (2013), the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Edinburgh (2018), Zabludowicz Collection, London, UK (2020), and Ca Pesaro, Galleria Internazionale d Arte Moderna, Venice (2022).
