Near a blessed tree II, 2024
Shikh Sabbir Alam's reflections begin with freehand drawings and crystallize into a more permanent form of paintings where the act of ‘seeing’ is brought to life, exploring how colour, form, and shape register in our minds. His works offer a lens into how our senses shape the way we perceive the world, evoking experiences of smell, taste, touch, and sound through the visual. Alam draws attention to the visceral potential of impermanence and uncertainty wrought in what we see and remember while questioning the boundaries between reality and fiction.
