Shan Re
Shan Re is one of the most versatile artists of India. She is a dynamic and prolific artist and seen actively involved in many fundraising art shows & auctions. She mesmerizes the audience with her spontaneous live painting on various occasions. The intensity and frequency of her creative output is enormous.
Intuitively moving between mediums, Shan has continuously evolved, experimented and explored a wide array of subjects and genres in several group and solo shows in India and abroad. Shan’s art practice involves various disciplines from drawing, painting, poetry, sculpture and Installation. Her works are in prominent public and private collections. Shan lives and works in Bangalore.
Shan’s paintings are spontaneous over flow of powerful feelings and emotions recollected in tranquility.
Each painting of Shan can be considered as a complete poem in itself and it appears to be a sudden capture of a fleeting moment. Shan's paintings are lyrical reflections of her subconscious thoughts, feelings, fantasies, hopes and memories.
Shan looks within a world of emotional and psychological states rather than without to a fluid world of fleeting realism. She explores her mind, spirit and imagination to germinate imagery. Thus free from representational convention Shan Re’s process and philosophy make her works ‘timeless’ – independent of time and space.
Shan has redefined her creative potential with her fashion partnership. She has collaborated with a sustainable luxury fashion brand and created two collections of single edition bags with her signature art work which were show cased at the New York Fashion Week in 2018.
Through her art therapy sessions Shan helps individuals in self regulation, rehabilitation and emotional well being.
Shan says...
“Listening to the quite voice within me...
Exploring infinite dimensions within myself...
Standing on the thresh hold of new experience...
I have been painting
The Canvas of my life...
Drop by drop...word by word...
To unwrap my own destiny...
Passion flows through me
Like a stream of colour
In the flames of passion
I create breathtakingly
Beautiful masterpieces
From the deep sea of mystery
Somewhere between
Memories and fantasies
Between echoes of silence and hope...
I am intoxicated and addicted to the power creativity...
My inner fire is what keeps me going”
