In this abstract composition by Montreal-based artist Shireen Kamran, colour and form create a dynamic painting. Indigo blue, green, dove grey and white colours are punctuated by black calligraphic markings. Kamran’s work is influenced by the paintings of fabled abstract artists such as De Kooning and Picasso. It also honours her Pakistani heritage and often references a form of Islamic mysticism called Sufi. One of a series.“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; it’s how I express it on the canvas.” Shireen Kamran
She received a BSc. degree from the University of Peshawer, Pakistan and a BFA from Concordia University, Montreal. Her work is held in private collections in Canada and abroad.
