‘I have this world in my head, and I think it keeps forming and growing every time I experience something new, or read something new, or just imagine something new, and so it’s an ever-expanding world.’ Alyina Zaidi discusses her painting ‘Facts and hearsay—an encyclopaedia of various natural and less natural phenomena’ (2024), on view in the group exhibition, ‘Alien Shores: Landscape once removed’ at White Cube Bermondsey.   Rooted in questions of belonging, Alyina’s work takes inspiration from Persian and South Asian miniature traditions and textile patterns to build landscapes populated by hybrid beings and surreal flora.   View Alyina’s paintings in ‘Alien Shores’ at White Cube Bermondsey until 7 September 2025.   Click the link in our bio to learn more.
