Ahmed Farooqui
|
Ahmed Farooqui works with a range of plastic materials – resins, waxes, gels, acrylic pigments, marble and metal powders to cast and create elemental forms which he replicates and then assembles into sculptures, assemblages and installations. Often the starting point is a powerful idea or image or emotion which he then explores through a thematic series of works. Recently he has been working on a series of sculptures Gelforms and Bioglyphs inspired by miniscule botanical structures as seen through an electron microscope and by the language of genomics. The whole series is an attempt to visualise the relationship between nature and science.
