ABOUT THE ARTWORK
This work of J Cole is very dear to my heart and launched my signature style of art. In the winter months I shift my outdoor studio inside the home due to the fact I am not able to work with wax because of it's toxic nature. I had always promised myself that I would set up a proper studio in the spare room but it wasn't open and airy as my outdoor studio. However, early in 2019 after wrestling against the idea, I actually started to paint at the kitchen table and thus had to alter my style of work. In the midst fo this change my daughter asked me for an early birthday gift and wanted a painting of her favourite rapper, J Cole. Finding the perfect image of him was easy but figuring out the composition and textures required deeper digging. One day I spotted a Tim Horton's (Canadian must have) coffee sleeve lying on the table and thought about ways I could incorporate the sleeve into my work. A light bulb moment for sure and I began to investigate other items in our blue recycle bin; fabrics, food packaging, tea bags, newspapers, old denim and plastic coke rings. Excessive consumption is also one of my pet peeves and it is important to give a second life to items that would only see the garbage dump. I had discovered that I didn't need expensive paints, all of my materials were free and readily available and also contributed to leaving a smaller carbon footprint. My style evolved from there.

Parveen is a self taught multi disciplinary artist who lives and works in a suburb of Toronto, Canada. Mixed media collages, abstract encaustic paintings and photography are her current media and allow her to become a conduit for a greater universal force that connects all living beings. She is very keen and very passionate about the concept of “Ik” which means one or oneness, that every ‘thing’ on earth and the nether regions are part of the one and the same thing. It’s not the shallow concept of one, but the one which goes deeper, which unifies all living things, which identifies their source as one. Before the world, there was the only one living entity. People call this entity many different things, god, Yahweh, allah etc. This entity is one but it looks like many different things, which is what Parveen conveys in her artist practice. She not only imbibes the divine but seeks to capture the diversity in creation, representation of bodies previously absent or excluded. Regardless of the media she uses to create, her work is historical and focused on the lapse of time. Her portraits are created in layers, often with worn out denim, while the abstract work with wax is incised and scraped back to layers underneath. Working much like an archeologist, excavating, removing, scratching to reveal the treasures hidden below.
