작품 상세

Shafiq has created imaginative works highlighting animals in a fantasy landscape. Perched on a tree, a group of chameleons play an essential role in this composition. His works contain thought provoking metaphors painted in his signature style, with techniques that resemble the characteristics of woodblock printing, presenting his observations of issues related to politics and society. The word 'Fate' is seen in one of the chameleons... do human have to adapt to the rapidly changing situations like chameleons?
