Artist Talks: Shezad Dawood
14:30–15:30
Studios & Gardens, Hertfordshire
We can trace Moore’s interest in the relationship between human, natural forms and the environment in the work of a number of contemporary artists working today.
Join us for a series of three talks by leading contemporary artists, who will each reflect on our 2024 theme Inspiration, Sculpture and Our Natural World.
In this talk multidisciplinary artist Shezad Dawood shares how Moore’s work and creative processes has informed his own artistic practice.
About the artist
Shezad Dawood is a multidisciplinary artist who interweaves stories, realities and symbolism to create richly layered artworks, spanning painting, textiles, sculpture, film and digital media.
Fascinated by ecologies and architecture, his work takes a philosophical approach, asking questions and exploring alternative futures through what Dawood describes as ‘world-building’. His practice is animated by research, working with multiple audiences and communities to delve into narrative, history and embodiment.
Recent solo exhibitions include Leviathan, Salisbury Cathedral, Salisbury (2023); Night in the Garden of Love, Inspired by & featuring Yusef Lateef, Aga Khan Museum, Toronto (2023) and WIELS, Brussels (2023).
