Plastic Bag Sculptures – Khalil Chishtee – In the pursuit of spirituality 2006<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Chishtee croit que l’art devrait refl\u00e9ter directement la vie et l’exp\u00e9rience de son cr\u00e9ateur. Elle\u00a0utilise la nature fragile du plastique pour en faire la jonction; Comme ils se d\u00e9chirent et se d\u00e9colorent, son art s’en trouve\u00a0fan\u00e9 et vieilli. Comme des fant\u00f4mes, ses sculptures (comme \u00ab\u00a0un p\u00e8re embrassant son fils\u00a0\u00bb ou\u00a0\u00ab\u00a0un autoportrait barbu de l’artiste\u00a0\u00bb) pendent suspendues au milieu de l’air, l\u00e9g\u00e8res et tombantes.
\nLes sacs poubelle blancs sont sp\u00e9cifiquement utilis\u00e9s pour repr\u00e9senter l’\u00e2me de chaque sujet. Un sentiment d’incompl\u00e9tude pour\u00a0chaque pi\u00e8ce.
\nTout comme l’univers continue \u00e0 \u00e9voluer, Chishtee permet \u00e0 son art de se d\u00e9former\u00a0et d’\u00e9voluer dans sa fabrication.<\/p>\n

Chishtee believes that art should be a direct reflection of its creator\u2019s own life and experience. He uses the fragile nature of plastic to make his point; as it rips and fades away, it implies that the figure is also faded and aging. Like ghosts, figures such as a father embracing his son and a bearded self-portrait of the artist hang suspended in mid air, feather light and falling apart. White trash bags are specifically used to represent each subject\u2019s soul. There\u2019s an incomplete-ness to every piece. Just as the universe continues to evolve, Chishtee allows his art to distort and change in its making.<\/em><\/p>\n
