Step into the fantastical and meticulously crafted world of Raqib Shaw.
Raqib Shaw creates paintings and sculptures where intricate detail and vibrant imagination collide. Using a distinctive technique of drawing enamel with porcupine quills, his richly layered compositions shift between meditative calm and intense drama.
Miniature representations, self-portraits and references to his childhood in Kashmir and beloved pets appear alongside allegorical and symbolic imagery, blending the personal with the universal. Many works on display, including The Retrospective 2002–2022, are being shown in the UK for the first time.
