Compton Verney - Raqib Shaw

Raqib Shaw presents an exhibition of his paintings, which are created using a unique technique involving porcupine quills and enamel.

The exhibition features meticulously crafted paintings by Raqib Shaw, who uses porcupine quills to draw enamel, creating layered compositions. His work draws inspiration from Renaissance painting, Japanese aesthetics, Persian, Mughal, and Hindu art forms, as well as Jungian philosophy. The collection includes works never exhibited in the UK before, such as The Retrospective 2002-2022. The display also includes a section dedicated to his unique painting method.
