IN : COLOUR, presented by Shaun Ilahi, explores a colorful commentary of perspectives, across mediums and styles, on the universal spirit of humanity in the midst of a global pandemic. By extracting and combining various images captured from around the world, the hybridized narrative brings to light how we are all interconnected. Stripped of our social constructs, the images offer not only a site of reflection but also elicit emotions through color and hues. The temporal aspect of these artworks suggests how past depictions inform contemporary thought and how the two are intertwined.
Shaun Ilahi currently resides in Omaha, NE. Ilahi is a world traveler and global citizen capturing simple moments through different perspectives and mediums. He attended school in New York and Nebraska.
