About Wanderings/Suluk No 58

Shireen Kamran’s dramatic and intriguing compositions pay homage to her rich Pakistani heritage. This is one in a series of abstract compositions Kamran created to remember the forced exodus of many people from the town of Suluk, Raqqa. The lush colour palette is reminiscent of a ‘trip to the spice market’ as shades of ochre, olive and indigo contrast with black, clay and bright white. This piece, in form and colour, was influenced by fabled abstract artists, De Kooning, Rembrandt and Picasso.

“My work is only landscapes: they are never figurative in the true sense. I am always inside my work; I go into my canvas in a bid for resolution, follow my hand, and once I’ve resolved my issues and had enough, I leave it.”
