Haku Shah

Statement

Born in 1934 in Gujarat, India, Haku Shah was exposed to the living traditions of India in the form of Tribal art, Folk traditions, and religious practices from a very early age. This combined with his education at the Faculty of Fine Arts, M.S. University Baroda, shaped his artistic style. 

His unique artistic sensibility fuses almost aboriginal characters of a herdsman, animals, and elemental symbols with a highly ‘modernized’ formal representation. One sees this in his delineation of form against a background sparing populated with a cow, or selectively chosen image of sun and moon, which could be from any tribal-aboriginal culture from anywhere in the world. This format of representation has quite often earned him the tag of a ‘global’ artist with rural indian sensibilities. Shah strongly holds that art exists where life throbs and thrives. It is no surprise, then, that the natural simplicity and spontaneity of rural life fascinates him.
