Working across drawing, printmaking, sculpture and writing, Seher Shah’s practice speaks to the poetics of how we perceive the landscape around us. Through the historical and intimate, and in between the architectural, political, and personal. She explores the abstraction of space through states of absence, fragility and fragmentation. Her studies into absence explore architectural perspective drawing traditions, fractured histories of objects and their erasure, alongside marks that retain the traces of time through real and imagined spaces. Working with variations of line, depth, and flatness, through graphite and ink, charcoal and dust, cast concrete and iron, her works are dedicated to the intimacy of mark-making through surfaces and their material weight.
Seher Shah received her Bachelor of Fine Arts and Bachelor of Architecture from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1998. Alongside her practice, she is involved in two long-term collaborative exchanges which tie in relationships between architecture, photography, drawing, and printmaking. With architectural photographer, Randhir Singh, through a series of cyanotype studies in form. And with the Glasgow Print Studio, since 2014, through the printmaking processes of intaglio, photogravure and woodcut.
Her works can be found in collections ranging from The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; The Museum of Modern Art, New York; Queens Museum, New York; Brooklyn Museum, New York; The New York Public Library, New York, NY; Centre Pompidou, Paris; Tate Modern, London; Art Mill Museum, Doha, Qatar; Art Jameel Collection, Dubai; The Ishara Art Foundation and the Prabhakar Collection, Dubai; Hamburger Kunsthalle, Germany; Hallen für Neue Kunst, Schauffhausen; Kiran Nader Museum of Art, New Delhi; and the Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary Foundation, Vienna amongst others.
