Contemporary Art: Raqib Shaw`s Space Between Dreams @ Pace Gallery, New York

 


(Drivebycuriosity) - Contemporary art is full of surprises. Recently I went to Pace gallery in Manhattan`s Chelsea district to see the Adrian Ghenie exhibition (my post). But the art dealer had another show which I liked even more: "Space Between Dreams" by Raqib Shaw ( pacegallery). I indulged into Shaw`s wonderful dream scenarios. 

The artist, who is born in Kashmir and lives and works in London, has very special technique: Shaw applies acrylic liner and enamel paint to an aluminum support. Because Shaw`s dreamscapes are so miraculous I add some detail shots to most of the images. 

 



This post starts with "Space Between Dreams - The Penitent Sage" (2023) and detail shots.
