 Raqib Shaw was born in Calcutta캘커타,인도 최대 항구도시  in 1974 but spent much of his youth in Kashmir인도북동부, where he was indelibly영원히 influenced by the distinctive medley of Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim, and Christian cultures. In 2001 he enrolled at the Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London, where he now resides. In 2006 the Tate invited Shaw to create works in response to the exhibition “Holbein in England,” and until [recently] Hans Holbein the Younger (ca. 1497–1543) ruled Shaw’s imaginative world in which creatures both natural and fantastic romp부수다/뛰어다니다 amid~중에 architectural settings based on Holbein’s designs for jewelry, stained glass, and book illustrations. Shaw also reinterpreted some of Holbein’s portraits of English sitters, retaining their late medieval costumes but replacing their bodies with monsters. (MET Museum)

An Indian-born, London-based artist who shot to fame in the international art world at the age of 33 .^[1] He is known for his opulent and intricately detailed paintings of imagined paradises, inlaid with vibrantly coloured jewels and enamel.^[2] His paintings and sculptures evoke the work of Old Masters such as Holbein and Bosch,^[1] whilst drawing on multifarious sources, from mythology and religion to poetry, literature, art history, textiles and decorative arts from both eastern and western traditions, all infused with the artist's imagination.

Shaw's paintings suggest a fantastical world full of intricate detail, rich colour and jewel-like surfaces, all masking a collection of intensely violent and sexual images. Fused with an eco-system of vibrantly painted flora and fauna, half human/half animal creatures, with screaming mouths and engorged or bleeding eyes are characters in a dizzying scene of erotic hedonism, both explosive and gruesome in its debauchery.^[8]

Shaw says these fantastical worlds are laden with satire and irony, and can be read 'as a commentary on my own experience of living in this society, and of being alive'.^[8]

A typical painting consists of many stages. Shaw starts with small drawings on paper, featuring characters, flora and fauna. These are then transferred to acetate as individual elements. Shaw begins the composition of the painting by projecting these drawings onto the panel, starting from the centre and working outwards. Once the composition has been drawn out in pen, the panel is taken down from the wall and laid flat. Stained-glass liner is then applied, following the contours of the pen, to create tiny cofferdams. Using small plastic tubes with fine nozzles, paint is then poured into these dams and manipulated by a porcupine quill to suggest form. Glitter is added to specific parts providing extra ornamentation. Lastly, crystals are glued to highlight other areas.
