Mahbub Shah |
| |
Mahbub explores the language and imagery of print media and advertising, referencing the pixel in his large-scale canvases as well as his smaller works on paper. His source material includes covers from magazines, sport action shots or advertisements. In a series of skillfully executed paper collages, Mahbub disturbs the composition of everyday images by cutting, rotating and finally repositioning a series of immaculately scored circles on his surfaces. The effect of these collages, is both teasing and unsettling, confronting the viewer with a strange unfamiliarity in quotidian imagery.
Mahbub received his BFA from the National College of Arts Lahore in 2001. His work has been exhibited in Pakistan, India, the UK and the US. He lives and works in Lahore, Pakistan.
