Shazia Imran
Love is in the Air- original impressionism cityscape painting - contemporary art

2024

About the Item

This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. “Love Is in the Air” by Shazia Imran presents a deeply romantic and whimsical vision of London under a gentle veil of rain. Executed in oil on canvas, the painting combines delicate pastel hues with rich, glowing reflections to capture the essence of a city alive with quiet intimacy. Big Ben and its surrounding architecture stand tall yet softened by the mist, framing the bustling figures who drift through the scene, umbrellas in hand. The composition’s focal point—a couple under a shared umbrella—encapsulates the titular theme, their closeness a symbol of love’s endurance amidst the city’s grandeur. The textured rain-dappled ground reflects soft blues, violets, and warm streaks of light, giving the impression of a mirrored world beneath the figures’ feet. Shazia Imran’s brushwork is both expressive and controlled, creating a fluidity of motion that brings life to the otherwise tranquil atmosphere. The artist expertly juxtaposes the anonymity of the figures with the intimacy of their gestures, evoking a timeless romanticism. This painting transcends its subject matter, offering viewers a moment of reflection and connection. Whether it is love for a city, a partner, or the serenity of rain, “Love Is in the Air” evokes universal emotions through its elegant and dreamy execution. A standout addition to any art collection, this piece is now available for purchase at Signet Contemporary Art in Chelsea and online. Artist bio: With over 29 years of experience in the creative arts, Sydney-based artist and sculptor Shazia Imran is celebrated for her expressive mixed media pieces. Her distinctive work has earned her numerous accolades, including the prestigious Lorenzo il Magnifico Award at the Florence Biennale (2015), the Applied Arts Award at the London Biennale (2017), the Most Collectible Artist Award at the Shenzhen City Art Fair, First Prize at the 2018 Chianciano Biennale, and the 2nd Prize International Confederation of Art Critics Award at the 2019 London Biennale. Additionally, she has received multiple national awards in Australia. Shazia’s art has been exhibited globally and features in public and private collections across Australia, the USA, the UK, Switzerland, Denmark, Italy, Canada, Dubai, Hong Kong, Macau, Thailand, China, Japan, and Singapore. One of her career highlights includes a significant commission for VIP accommodations, The Mansion, at the MGM Hotel in Macau. Her works are also held in the collection of Rajamangala University, Thailand, and by His Highness Sheikh Juma Bin Ahmed Bin Juma Al Maktoum. Internationally, her work is sought after as an investment, particularly in Hong Kong and Singapore. Shazia graduated with Distinction from the National College of Arts (NCA) Lahore in 1994 and later completed a Master of Design in Digital Media from the University of Western Sydney (UWS) in 2004. She has also undertaken additional courses at the National Art School (NAS) and UNSW in Sydney. Her career spans diverse creative fields, including digital strategy development, website and intranet content management in the NSW Government sector, e-commerce marketing, advertising, and promotions in multinational agencies. Despite a successful corporate career, Shazia’s passion for art remained unwavering, leading her to pivot toward professional artistry after an invitation to the New York Art Expo in 2013. This pivotal moment launched a series of successful international shows. Today, Shazia owns a studio and gallery in The Rocks, a historic precinct in Sydney near the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. She is the first female artist to establish a personal gallery in this iconic location, surrounded by acclaimed Australian artists. Shazia’s work is inspired by her travels, where she explores the infinite expressiveness of her subjects through collage, acrylics, and mixed media. Her compositions integrate monograms and fine-printed paper from various cultural traditions, layered atop expressionist painting foundations. These vibrant, overlapping elements evoke dreamscapes, memories, and unity, meticulously crafted with textiles and collage. Her art resonates with themes of identity, urban landscapes, and cultural connection, offering a profound and multifaceted visual experience.

Use of colour, shape, texture and light defines my style in capturing the personality and emotions of the subject. My inspiration and influence comes from everything I see, feel and experience around me. The delicately multilayered paintings I create, explore the connections between landscape, memory and the subconscious through texture and the interplay of light and dark, creating an atmosphere that opens itself up to multiple meanings. My recent body of work is based on the mandala – representing the wholeness and unity of mankind. Representing the universe itself, the mandala is both microcosm and macrocosm and we all are part of it. No matter what region, race or religion we belong to, we are all same we are all humans.”- Shazia Imran
