Raqib Shaw at Manchester Art Gallery
Raqib Shaw dazzles at Manchester Art Gallery Beautiful, brutal, magnificent, disturbing, awe-inspiring… Raqib Shaw’s largest solo exhibition to date is all of these and more.
[ Beautiful Chaos ]
The Raqib Shaw exhibition is on display at Manchester Art Gallery until 26th May 2013 Entry is Free
Manchester Art Gallery is hosting a major exhibition of 28 recent works by Calcutta-born, London-based artist, Raqib Shaw.
Shaw’s art is extraordinary – his paintings, sculptures and works on paper depict epic narratives and other worlds which draw on multiple sources, from mythology and religion, to poetry, literature, art history, textiles and decorative arts.
Enter the main exhibition on the second floor and one of the first things that strikes you is the sheer size of the individual works on display. From a distance, many of the large-scale paintings look incredibly lush and inviting – glittering masterpieces bursting with colour and texture.
