Fida Haq : Scenes From Idyll


Just completed the humongous project that was Scenes From Idyll. Easily my most ambitious work so far in the 'drink-can' media - well if there is such a thing. Liverpool Hospital, NSW commissioned the work through Affordable Art Australia for the ambulatory waiting area of its Mental Health wing.


Scenes From Idyll is a triptych with each pane measuring 60cms by 1.2m. The work is again inspired by motifs and patterns of ceramic tiles emanating from 16th/17th century Syria and Turkey and executed with the technique and riotous colours of Rickshaw art of Bangladesh. And see Geometric Beauties : Patterns of Islam for examples of other works belomging to this genre.

This project was supported by the National Association of the Visual Arts with financial assistance from the NSW Government Ministry for the Arts
