Atif Khan at Taliesin Arts Centre Wales

Works from Hybrid have been included in Muhammad Atif Khan's solo exhibition Landscape of the Heart at Ceri Richards Gallery in Swansea, Wales. The catalogue can be seen online here.

9 August to 14 September

Muhammad Atif Khan graduated in Fine Art from the National College of Arts in Lahore, Pakistan and in 1998 was awarded the UNESCO-ASHBURG Bursary, completing a residency at Darat-al-Funun in Amman, Jordan.

He received a Commonwealth Arts & Crafts Award in 2007, and during 2005 – 2008, was also appointed artist in residence at the Swansea Print Workshop, London Print Studio and Glasgow Print Studio.

Khan says: “My work is inspired by the great tradition of storytelling. Its poetic symbolism can be clearly observed. My work has a decorative quality, which is also a significant element of the subcontinent’s traditional arts. I observe that nature is always beautiful even at its most ferocious moments. I try to present my political or social comments in a decorative way which balances the bitterness of the subject matter”.
