The latest exhibition by Shelly Iqbal seen at 'The Bloc Studios' consists of a series of paintings part of which follow her interest in the Gothic but have recent additions in the form of paint poured onto stretched Viole in a colourful geometric pattern the effect of which when hung and lighted produces a further shadow pattern on the wall within the frame giving a 3 dimensional effect.
It seems to be an extension and further development of her study into naturalistic shapes and forms combining with that of designs prevalent on stained glass but this is no heavy thick black lines but delicate and light, which is in total contrast to her other work in the Gothic.
Her recent work 'after Klimt' of 'The Kiss' has the grim reaper scythe in hand standing alongside the lovers no doubt in a symbolic gesture over the frailty of love, or could it be a love which never dies. either way the choice as with all art is with the viewer.
