Portrait of Indian Woman |
As an artist who has studied at the prestigious JJ School of Art, Abid Shaikh, definitely has the technical skill to make a good painting. But to make that good painting great one needs to have a vision and strong platform to form the basis of a series and well thought out composition of works. This is something that few artists have and Abid Shaikh is one of them. He takes the images of daily life in Mumbai and presents them as characters who are role playing. One can sense the social undercurrents and personal turmoil that the individuals of his compositions are facing. Thus one finds his various themes – the typical scene of women jostling for space in a local train, the humble street vendor peddling his wares to eke out a living, the Indian woman – no matter which community she belongs to, still losing her identity in the name of family and duty. Complex issues and stories told in a simple manner which speaks a universal language. |
