In Focus: Raqib Shaw at Art SG⁠ ⁠ Raqib Shaw’s tapestry, ‘The Pragmatic Pessimist’ (2024) is featured in the TVS Initiative for Indian and South Asian Contemporary Art at Art SG, which places a robust spotlight on contemporary art practices from India and South Asia.⁠ ⁠ ‘The Pragmatic Pessimist’ (2024) captures all the meticulous detailing of Raqib’s enamel paintings, translating his unique vision in a 4m wide Jacquard tapestry. ⁠ ⁠ From the artist's ‘Space Between Dreams’ series, ‘The Pragmatic Pessimist’ (2024) reflects on the precarity of the planet in a tableau which the artist describes as ’an inner landscape where memory, psyche and commentary on the world outside, interlace’.⁠ ⁠ Along with ‘The Perseverant Prophet’ (2024), the tapestry is on view at the The Huntington Library, Art Museum, where both were first featured as part of 'Raqib Shaw: Ballads of East and West' (November 2024 – March 2025).⁠ ⁠ 📍Booth BC05, Marina Bay Sands, Singapore ⁠ ⁠ 🔗 Click the link in our bio to e...
