작품 상세

This work is illustrated in the artist's signature style which mimics the effects of woodcut prints using coarse outlines to produce a sharp effect. Mythical creatures of the underwater world swarm in various directions, suggesting great depth and create a sense of drama. Shafiq's work reflects his observations of contemporary society, reinterpreted in a stimulating visual language.
