Amjum Rizve India, b. 1992
Hand painting, hand embroidery
Amjum tries to recreate the extrinsic objectives in his personal space of imagination and recreates it in a narrative form in his artistic work. . In other sense, Amjum is trying to elaborate his socio-political activity and arguments through the images.
His recent works suggest a fantastical world, full of intricate details, rich colour and registered collection of intensive drawings and religious images.
Amjum Rizve (b.1992, Kannur, Kerala, India) completed his BFA from Trivandrum Fine Arts College, Trivandrum (2013) and MVA in Painting at Chamarajendra Academy of Visual Arts, Mysore (2018).
He has participated in various group shows across India including at Gallery Veda, Chennai (2015); Durbar Hall Art Gallery, Ernakulam (2018); MNF Museum, Ernakulam (2019); BC Gallery, Kochi (2019); Kochi-Muziris Biennale, Kochi (2021-22); Apparao Gallery, Chennai (2022); and Shrishti Art Gallery, Hyderabad (2022). Additionally, he is the recipient of HRD Ministry of Culture Young Artist Scholarships, 2017 and Kerala Diamond Jubilee Fellowship, 2019-20. Amjum's work is influenced by eternal life experiences and is built on experimentation and media collaborations. The excessive impact of Western and Indian art sources on Rizve's own visual propaganda creates a fantasy influenced by Islamic decorative art, mosaics, and Japanese landscape.
Amjum lives in Mysore, Karnataka, India and works in Mysore, Karnataka, India and Wayanad, Kerala, India.
