Bina Shah

Bina is a London based visual artist, printmaker and ceramist. She translates her endless source of inspiration from natural and urban environments through textures, colour , pattern in the sequences of seasons, often focusing on small details employing a close relationship with mediums: painting with oil and cold wax medium, printmaking, ceramics and often mixing materials and methods which become a dominant driver in her work. She prefers to use hard surfaces which allow her to use a more diverse range of materials, tools and techniques to create textures and reveal undertones. Her works evolves as a result of experimenting with different materials and techniques, which leads to unexpected discoveries and an uncertain resonance to explore and develop further. Through a process of continual layering, building, etching, abrasion and deconstruction, incorporating indigenous materials, a surface is established and the resulting image is often ambiguous, challenging perception of the viewer to find their own definition and narrative or may at times echo memories of a place evoking an emotional response.

Her work conveys a sense of contemplative abstract familiarity.

Studied Foundation in Arts 1978 followed by Illustration at Harrow School of Art passing with a Merit in 1982.
