Azeezah Muhammad
Born in 2001, in Johannesburg South Africa. Azeezah draws inspiration from varying sources and the media. Drawn to rich compositions and plays on scale and distortion of perspective. She loves the interplay of colour and rich texture in work, created by layers of colour, depth or richness of line. She dreamed of being a curator, but life had other plans for her. She still practise on the side and stays enamoured in her work. Often trying to remain authentic, her work centres around introspection, the interrogation of self, the analysis of mind scapes, perception of self and merely existing in this odd world. Azeezah’s works are simple in medium and subject matter but speak to larger and intangible concepts such as ‘emotion’ discovering art through the lens of personal experience.
Her works are not necessarily representational, and they are not set or situated in any particular manner or context, the viewer is able to create their own story through the visceral experience of shape, line and colour. This season of her work is situated in black inks with rich abstract forms and lines that are intended to draw the viewer in and interrogate their confusion and be taken on an experience or form one on their own, this leaves every person that engages her work to have an entirely different experience that is free from any preconceived notions or critical theories.
