Using the practice of South Asian miniature painting as his artistic base, Ali Kazim has fashioned a distinctive technique, rigorously technical yet intuitively fluid. He works with watercolour pigments to create an extraordinary depth of colour not normally associated with this medium. In his recent paintings, Ali Kazim paints mostly men, enigmatic figures, shown usually naked from the waist up. His art betrays a way of looking set probably well before the cultured mannerisms of a formal art education ever took hold. He paints what he sees. For Kazim the body is the space in which we carry our lives and souls. |
