Characterized by sculptural depth of pigment, architectonic grooves and radiant hues, contemporary Canadian artist Zaineb Shaban's 3D acrylic on canvas paintings are a visual pleasure to behold. Incorporating a variety of techniques and media -layers, gold. leaf, texture, mosaic & modelling paste-serves to enhance the multi-dimensionality of the paintings. Influenced heavily by her work as an architect, Shaban's visual art is a revelation concerning the relationship between nature and culture, and how the two transform one another over time. Having evolved from early work rendering traditional scenes of socio-cultural significance, in her current oeuvre Shaban tackles issues of human temporality and transcendence, and in the artist's own words, the "symbolic conscientious-ness of material culture." Using visual representation of architecture as a "bridge across time" this work is grounded in a type of utopian futurity fusing a diversity of socio-cultural views.
