Drawing inspiration from sources as varied as the flight path of birds and The Economist magazine, Mahbub Shah and Mohammad Ali Talpur's works explore the grid and interrogate the mechanics of the printing process in distinctive ways. Shah uses the grid and its twenty first century equivalent, the pixel to deconstruct and distort familiar-looking print images, compelling us to read quotidian imagery afresh. Talpur turns his back on content and postmodern discourse to seek refuge in the mechanics of the line, which he explores meditatively in ink and acrylic on paper and canvas. He returns to the grid to structure his machine drawings – manipulations of the lines spewed out by by a printing press that produces school exercise books. |
