Inner poetry, indeed! Today’s ‘member in the spotlight’ is Toronto based artist Aadila Munshi, and this is her most recent series:
“My latest collection, ‘Inner Poetry’, prominently features my personal handstyle. At the intersection of calligraphy and graffiti, this dynamic script is distilled from the layers of my urban abstracts and my sketchbooks. In this series I have magnified and presented it in lyrical form on canvas. The new paintings are an eloquent manifestation of my inner poetry and perspectives. In these elegant calligraffiti forms, I intuit my own fortitude, femininity, and belief in the necessary state of interconnectedness (Ubuntu) for the human race to evolve, exist peacefully and prosper.”
So beautiful. This series only has two pieces still available, but great news… on April 9th, Aadila will be releasing ‘Inner Poetry II’! Keep an eye on her Instagram, @aadila_paints, for details!
Beautiful work! I love the almost message of it, keeps you coming back, the street vibe vs graffiti vibe is so cool!
Hope you’re feeling better Danielle.
