Death, Beauty, and Justice V

Raqib Shaw Kashmir
2008
Not on view
Born in Calcutta and raised in Kashmir, Shaw now lives and works in London. Joining the traditions and techniques of his native Asia with cosmopolitan and eclectic sources of imagery that he mines in the museums of London, his pictures present a collision of nature and fantasy, violence and eroticism, that exposes the otherwise hidden side of hedonism.
