I first discovered Shahzia Sikander's art perhaps a dozen years ago and was immediately drawn in by the vivid, sensual, visionary yet critical material that she generated. I've recently purchased the book produced in concert with this exhibition, "Extraordinary Realities," which recently ended at the Morgan Library and Museum in New York City. Shahzia, who originally hails from Lahore, Pakistan, lives now in NYC.
After I've perused the volume in question, I hope to have more to say about this artist, her perspective, and her fascinating work. This is a continuation of my purview of artists who herald from Pakistan, and is a variation upon the larger theme of how we conceptualize our sense of identity.
