Re: Shazia Sikander.. flourishing New York Artist
i love it! it's so surreal, yet her style of painting is the moghul style. perspective all wrong, yet so beautiful. and at the same time so modern. in her last painting, isntead of painting ladies in peshwazes and silks, she's drawn a lady in a modern dress. there is a kaam wali in the corner, and a male head of household observing it all. it's so voyeuristic at the same time. secretly observing. you're not meant to be part of the painting. the first painting is just so familiar yet so distant. and creepy in a way.
