Shazia MahmoodShazia Mahmood studied Fine Art Painting at Winchester School of Art (1993-1997).
Since completing her artistic studies, she has devoted her time to the exploration of a very specific and quite unique method of painting. Her process-based technique relies on the phenomenon of chromatography - the colour-separation reaction that occurs when two specific mediums interact. In her work the base medium is a layer of PVA glue on canvas. When inks are then applied the glue draws out the individual dyes to create a distinctive colour transition.
For the past few years Shazia has painted exclusively from an area around the Western Isles. She has been captivated by this area primarily because of the pure drama and the multitude of changing weather conditions – evoked through her intimate knowledge of the chromatic technique, allowing her to control the progress of each reaction to produce her desired visual result.
Recently, Shazia has moved away from these scenes and experimented with the East Anglian landscape, capturing the beautiful scenery around that coastal area and producing pieces which are just as powerful as the Scottish coastline.
