back Muted series - Staged Ms Farah Khan

• Muted series - Staged
• My background stems from a natural interest in art since the age of 5 years. I discovered that I was more and more embroiled with the new ideas and creative development during the 1980's when I was an avid experimenter with new mediums and styles that were just merging out eg. Pop Art Andy Warhol and bold statemental typography eg. Neville Brody etc... I discovered that I wanted to be different and not neccessarily 'clone ideas or styles' of bygones. Through an alternative approach and experimentation it became easier for me to realise new pattern of imagery and evocation of my expression. My tutors soon realised that there was something remarkable about my work and they couldn't quite get their head round it. Currently I apply 'mixed' media and to include poetical sentiments via means of photography. I utilise light as my paintbrush as is predominant in my style. I find myself standing a conjunction, a point in time where inspiration has evolved; where different disciplines meet each other in rampant succession. It makes sense to commit these instances to something we can see, feel hear and touch. It would be against our collective intellect as a human race to let these precious moments disappear without any chronological record. Since ancient times, art has been used as a way of recording the age and transmitting its spirit through to our present. Historians greatly rely upon art to make up a picture of the times on which they are researching. My cohesive struggles and thoughts are a direct result of your own pain, 'You’ve moved her even though you don't know her -You can see her even though she is not there!' To work in reverse would be less diagnostic and more speculative. Entirely abstract thoughts are often a direct result of humanity’s attempt to progress. Though they are are not entirely disassociated with my work on display, they are scrutinized through paradigm. This is all whether or not we as a species evolve to a point, that we communicate in sounds presently indistinguishable to us. Or even that art itself makes moves beyond the canvas, to become a form of psychosomatic medicine delivered via telepathy.
