Notes


Shumaiya Khan is an artist, writer, and creative. She was born 1990, in Bradford, West Yorkshire to a British Bengali family, before moving to London to pursue higher education where she resides to this day. Khan comes from a design-led background, earning her BA Hons in Design from Goldsmiths, University of London. Khan is self-taught and her work has an element of experimentation with textures and motion within an abstract framework built to engage emotion within her audience.

Of Afterparty, Khan says: “It is painted over canvas like so many other works. The poem on the back was written nine months before the painting came to light. The wanting of a different life to those who surround you, without lessening the love. The poem reads:

Only at this hour
Do I feel a tinge
Of what life could be
If
There was another
To coo at babies
The children
At large family tables
Full with love
In the form of food
And when we turn in
After everyone leaves
There would be a different
Kind of silence.”
