About the Item

This is one in a series of elegant abstract compositions Shireen Kamran created to remember the forced exodus of many people from the town of Suluk, Syria. Using paper collage and acrylic paints, the richness of the color palette is reminiscent of a trip to the spice market. Muted shades of ochre, olive, and indigo contrast with black, clay, and bright white. This piece, in form and color, was influenced by fabled abstract artists, De Kooning, Rembrandt, and Picasso. Kamran’s work also honors her Pakistani heritage, often referencing a form of Islamic mysticism called Sufi. “I am very inspired by Sufi culture, a constant thread in my work, this concept of Sufi philosophy, reading Rumi, etc. I don’t paint in the traditional way, how I express it on canvas.” Shireen Kamran She received a BSc. degree from the University of Peshawar and a BFA from Concordia University, Montreal. Her work is held in private collections in Canada and abroad. Read about Shireen Kamran’s identity of abstraction in the artist expressing herself via color and formlessness in "A Silent Devotion" by Aasim Akhtar.
