Farhat Jamshed is one of South Asia’s most visceral experimental artists, with over two decades of work in pushing the boundaries of wood, metal, clay, and paint, through her installations, furniture, and paintings.
She has perfected her art creations working with wood in its natural form, and it comes in response to the artistic demands of an age in flux.
The installations and murals brings together a selection of Jamshed’s work in abstract wood and metal, in three dimensional dialogue with architecture, history, visual design, and nature. She uses wood in its most natural state, often unpolished, uprooted, and uncut, in conjunction with muted colour, debris and metal to create mixed-medium pieces that invite the audience to think of interior space as more than walls. The collection includes ‘The End of History’, a 16 feet long raw city scape and sea scape.
Jamshed has exhibited solo in Delhi and Mumbai, in exhibitions attended by several prominent individuals, including Suresh Prabhu, Piyush Goyal, Muzaffar Ali, Sonal Man Singh, Parmeshwar Godrej, Akshay Kumar, among others.
Over the last twenty years, Jamshed has created hundreds of art works, inspired by the zeitgeist and her travels across Asia and Europe, and follows in the traditions of Constructivism and new movements in Installation and immersive experiments in modern art.
