Description
One off Giclée print limited-edition (No.1-100) by Shagufta Shakeel on finest Hahnemühle German Etching paper. Hand numbered and hand signed.
Part of six-piece collection ‘GROWTH’ inspired by the diversity of bamboo and its cultural symbolism.
This collection is inspired by the bamboo growing in my back garden which has always mesmerised me with its beauty and resilience.
I drew this collection through the summer of 2024 from my home studio that overlooks my garden. Although I have to turn around to see the bamboo plant (it’s behind my workstation), it provides a sense of security that no matter what, when I turn around, I will always find it there – strong and thriving.
My art is a cross between abstract and realism, tilted more towards abstractionism. The inspiration I draw from nature is fleeting, the imagination heavy.
Happiness – For something which is so momentary, we spend an awful amount of time seeking it. Happiness is a chemical reaction in our brain and a pleasant sensation in our bodies that lasts for a few minutes. We are then back at finding new things to give us more of that high we crave. Shall we then attain a perpetual state of happiness by injecting ourselves with some bliss inducing drug?
