Shahzia Sikander


 
picure No. 1
Shahzia Sikander
 
Shahzia Sikander born in  1969, Lahore, Pakistan she is one of the great artist who lives in United State in New York city,  she is Pakistani and American artist who works in drawing, painting, animation, large scale installation, performance and video. She is one of my favorite and creative artists. Sikander try to represent the relationship between the present and the past, between what she feel and her religion, I read some Islamic sentences in some of her galleries ( picure No 3 ) that she made and that comes from Quran, one of that sentence means god can do anything, as I know about Indian culture,  her art sometimes represent richness of multicultural identities in Indian cultural and she always develop new things and Integrated with both personal and social histories, her work invites multiple meanings.
