Khalil Chishtee‘s current sculptural work mimes the ubiquitous plastic rubbish bag in the unlikeliest ways. Using this robust yet slight material, he has created a series of ethereal figures suspended, almost floating in their exhibition space, yet formed with sculptural precision and great attention to detail.
Light and fluid though they may look, his creations are intense, evoking the viewer’s physical and emotional vulnerability with a piercing sensibility of human suffering. The quotidian media, which references our connections with the world around us, also brings to mind the everyday nature of this suffering.
Khalil’s work has been exhibited in the US, UK, Middle East and in Pakistan. He claims he has no home. Dreaming of Dreaming makes particular reference to creative people who become victims of organised societies, so much so that dreaming their dreams becomes an impossibility
