Shameem Khan: A Journey
to
Leigh Square Community Arts Village (Michael Wright Art Gallery) 2253 Leigh Square Place, Port Coquitlam, British Columbia V3C 3B8
The opening reception of A Journey is on June 29, 2018 from 7:00-9:00pm, free to the public.
A Journey is the result of Shameem Khan’s ongoing exploration with the medium of watercolour, showcasing works on paper depicting urban and rural landscapes from regions around the world.
While watercolour has been an important medium for Khan in his career as an architect to represent design concepts for projects, his on-going fascination with watercolour has inspired an attention to capturing the atmospheric mood of a scene. The works employ transparent light and strong dark qualities to transform everyday urban and rural landscapes into dreamlike and dynamic spaces. Khan has exhibited regularly in the Lower Mainland and on Vancouver Island, and is the winner of numerous awards for his work.
