Abstract

This piece is a striking exploration of layering, and texture within the realm of Arabic inspired abstract expressionism. The composition is built upon a foundation of thick acrylic paint, which has been layered, scraped, and distressed, creating an effect of erosion and decay. The resulting cracks and uneven textures give the canvas a sense of destruction, as if time itself has worn away at the surface, revealing fragmented glimpses of the underlying script.

This abstract painting explores the concept of Construction through Destruction of Typography, where structured forms are deconstructed to reveal a new visual language. The artwork features bold strokes of deep indigo and navy blue, intertwined with striking yellow rectangular blocks. The dynamic brushwork conveys movement and transformation, suggesting the breaking down of letterforms and their reassembly into a fresh, expressive composition.

This abstract painting is a bold and dynamic composition dominated by deep reds, burnt oranges, and vibrant yellows. The expressive brushstrokes and dripping textures create a sense of raw movement and intensity, evoking themes of passion, fire, and transformation.

Artwork draws inspiration from the traditional Indian colour palette. Blue holds deep cultural and spiritual significance, in Indian heritage. Associated with divinity, it also symbolises wisdom, protection, and balance. Blue has historical ties to the famous Indigo dye, once a trade commodity in India.

This artwork is deeply rooted in the themes of conflict, unity, and shared human experience. Inspired by the tensions between Hindus and Muslims in 2022, the piece serves as a visual meditation on the complexities of division and the potential for reconciliation. Rather than focusing solely on discord, it attempts to unravel the commonalities that bind people together beyond religious, cultural, and ideological differences.
