About the book
Exclusive to Manchester and Prague, this new exhibition comprises recent paintings, sculptures and works on paper. Raqib Shaw is an Indian-born, London-based artist. His opulent paintings and sculptures evoke the work of Old Masters such as Holbein and Bosch in their treatment of often unsettling subjects. But they also reflect the ornate style of Persian miniatures and Kashmiri and Japanese textiles. Beneath their beautiful jewel-like surface is a collection of dark and violent images inspired by ancient myths and religious tales from both East and Western tradition.
