Studies from a Sculpture Garden (2)

Shah, Seher (Artist)‎, Gow, Alistair (Collaborating Master Printmaker)‎, McNicol, Ian (Collaborating Printer)‎, Duffin, Stuart, 1959 (b.) (Collaborating Printer)‎

A number of arched architechtural lines stacked upon one another printed against varying shades of grey. Seher Shah (b. 1975, Karachi, lives and works in Barcelona) received her Bachelor of Fine Arts and Bachelor of Architecture from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1998. Shah works across drawing, printmaking, and sculpture, exploring ideas in architecture and perspective drawing traditions. For over two decades, the intimacy of the hand through mark-making has been a source of curiosity, research, and experimentation in her practice. Her work speaks to the poetics and fractures of how we view the landscape around us, through the historical and the intimate. In her 'Studies from a Sculpture Garden' series, architectural fragments are explored through a series of works connected to modernist and brutalist forms, and imagined sculpture gardens. Walls, columns, grids, and architectural thresholds, are explored through folds, acute angles, and the surfaces and textures of buildings.
