SHAZIA IMRAN

Accomplished Australian-Pakistani artist Shazia Imran is best known for her expressive mixed media pieces that explore the spiritual and emotional discourses underlying familiar architectural landscapes and the organic.

Through her practice, Shazia engages with various urban spaces found in her travels to compose intricately layered works involving monograms and fine-printed paper from differing cultural lineages on a foundation of expressionist painting. The vibrant tones and overlapping viewpoints within her works are reminiscent of dreamscapes, memory and unity that is meticulously arranged with textile pieces to create multiple layers that are reflective of her complex themes.

AWARD WINNING WORKS - MANDALA COLLECTION
This collection incorporates elements of familiar architecture and urban spaces with the mandala as the central feature, a spiritual implication aligning with her geometrical mixed media works to express unity as well as wholeness that is reflective of human relationships and connectivity. Representing the universe itself, the religiously recognised emblem of the mandala within her cityscapes extends beyond linguistic and cultural confines to achieve this essential concept of totality. Elements of layering and thread are prominent throughout her paintings, further emphasising the significance of global connectivity.

This body of work showcases how despite all our differences the core human values across the world are the same. Using the mandala in her paintings, Shazia observe the similarities in various communities through painting the common motifs and weaving the threads to depict human connections.

Shazia's mandala collection is available as investment art in Hong Kong and Singapore. Contact us if you are interested to know more about investment art, we can direct your enquiries to our partner Gallery in Hong Kong.
