SHUMAIYA KHAN
Shumaiya Khan is a painter, writer and creative. Born in
Bradford, West Yorkshire to an immigrant south Asian family,
before moving to London to pursue higher education
where she resides to this day. Khan comes from a design-led
background, earning her degree in Design from
the Goldsmiths University of London. Although she has
always painted, she only fully resumed her art practice in
April 2020. Khan is self-taught and her work has always
had an element of experimentation with textures and
motion within an abstract framework built to engage
emotion within her audience.
In her earlier critical theory design work, this has translated
into recording statistics in visually fluid, quantifiable
measurable ways, with ink, ceramics, and plants. Between
2010 to 2019, Khan’s sole focus was on her creative & art
direction roles within fashion, homeware, and beauty. Today
she produces contemporary abstract expressionist
pieces via the use of acrylic, charcoal, chalk, and poetry
across canvas paper and film. Khan's practice aims to
explore juxtapositions around emotive behaviors in the
sphere of; the relationship with ourselves, what it means
to be feminine, the occurrence of coercion & control, and
the fragility & restless motions of life. She has stated previously
that she is compelled to create, being both a meditative
and explorative practice for her. The commentary
which takes place upon viewing her work should provoke
deeper feelings about our own temporary nature.
