Mukesh Shah
Mukesh Shah's practice is observing, intuitive and reductive - a juxtaposition of conceptual textual works that frame the zeitgeist and tactile abstract compositions that explore organic materiality in a process of imperfect mark-making.
In the past decade a series of big issues have emerged to define our times and we see demonstrations erupting somewhere every day. Slogans on placards remain the expressive tool of civil protest in the digital age. The Playlist series of 25 reductive slogans uses the powerful relationship between text and image to explore this zeitgeist.
Shah (b 1959, British Indian) is a multi-disciplinary visual artist based in Dubai. He was born in Aden (Yemen) when it was a British Colony. His family emigrated to Bombay in 1967, as the British were leaving and a Marxist paramilitary group formed the new People’s Democratic Republic of Yemen. Subsequently, he was educated in the UK from 1976 and lived in London till 2013. He has an MA in Natural Sciences from the University of Cambridge.
