Ardor, elation, radiance

Masterly strokes of upbeat, vibrant colours and a rhythmic mingling of anonymous-yet-recognizable urban dwellers is what populates the Moin H Shah imagery; even his darkest canvasses are aglow with sparkling optimism and a passionate belief in the glory of Man as a social being; an integral, inseparable part of the entire human experience. His work is always on the bright side of brightness, and his luminous flowers are a gift from Nature to this celebration of life.

Over the years, this autodidact’s transformation from an inquisitive onlooker, a novice in the creative wilderness, to a connoisseur of all things beautiful, to a passionate initiate in the realm of lines-and- forms, to a familiar name on the local and global art scene — acknowledged, respected and sought-after by admirers, collectors, purveyors, writers and critics alike — has been awe-inspiring.


A modern expressionist, Moin Shah, utilizes acrylic as his medium with his ‘own mixing and application techniques to enrich and produce multi-layers and a sense of depth or a 3-D effect’. Togetherness (his skyscrapers, humans, flowers — all reflect a strong bonding), coupled with an insatiable desire to taste the nectar of existence, has been the consistently dominant theme in Moin Shah’s work.

His artistic exuberance has endeared Moin Shah to art lovers translating into a following that has reached a place this side of a fad. His latest collection goes on display at the Citi Art Gallery, Clifton, from Saturday, February 18, 2012.
