Eros I Shumaiya Khan | Original Oil Painting

£1,800.00

Acrylic & Charcoal on Raw Canvas.

Size: 50cm x 600cm Unframed.

Eros is a sumptuous abstract composition by Shumaiya Khan, whose contemporary abstract expressionist practice explores emotion through layered colour, texture, and gesture. In this work, rage and lust exist in dynamic tension, expressed through richly worked pigment, energetic mark-making, and a deeply tactile surface. Building the painting over time, Khan allows instinct and intention to coexist, creating an immersive emotional landscape that pulses with movement, desire, and raw intensity. Eros invites the viewer into a world where opposing forces collide and transform.

  • Shumaiya Khan is an artist, writer, and creative. Born 1990, in Bradford, West Yorkshire to a British Bengali family, before moving to London to pursue higher education where she resides to this day. Khan comes from a design-led background, earning her BA Hons in Design from Goldsmiths, University of London. Although she has always painted, she only fully resumed her art practice in April of 2020. Her work has always had an element of experimentation with textures and motion within an abstract framework built to engage emotion within her audience. Khan will be studying for her MA Fine Art at City and Guilds London School of Art from September 2024.

    Within her earlier critical theory design work, this has translated into recording statistics in visually fluid, quantifiable, and measurable ways, via the use of ink, ceramics, and plants. Between 2010 to 2019, Khan’s sole focus was her creative & art direction roles within fashion, homeware, and beauty. Khan’s work is based in emotional and metaphysical storytelling. Her practice explores juxtapositions around dynamic behaviours in the sphere of; the relationship with ourselves, feminine expression & sensuality, societal interaction, morality, innate faith & spirituality.

    Khan often calls upon the viewers to look inside themselves and ask what they feel. She has stated previously that she is compelled to create, being both a meditative and explorative practice for her. Today she has collectors in the States and South America to Australia, while working on commissions, and collaborations within beauty and fashion industries.
