Parallax

Overview

If you’re in the mood for something beautiful and relaxing then this is it. Luscious colour and delicate patterns flow across the screen as Sikander’s painting literally comes to life before your eyes. Parallax is a like a visual meditation, so allow time to sit and enjoy it.

Pakistani-born American artist, Shahzia Sikander is best known for her experimentation in Persian miniature painting and in Parallax she plays with combination of still images and animation. Sikander’s conceptual interests lie in paradox, societies in flux, and formal and visual disruption as a means to generate new associations.

Parallax is showing as part of the 5th Auckland Triennial.
