RAZA TARIQ (B. 2002) IS A CONCEPTUAL ARTIST FROM LONDON. HIS WORK EXPLORES SPIRITUAL RITUAL IN THE METAMODERN CONTEXT AND EXAMINES DEVOTIONAL RITES ACROSS SECULAR LIVING AND RELIGIOUS SECLUSION AS ONE COHESIVE INVOLUNTARY PRACTICE ACROSS THE EXPANSE OF MODERNITY.

AS PART OF A CONFLUENT ‘HYBRID-PRACTICE’ TARIQ ATTEMPTS TO SUMMON TRANSMITTED "SILSILAH" LINKS AND THEIR ASSOCIATED EVERLASTING PHYSIOLOGICAL MEMORY OF PRIOR PRESENCES TO EVOKE THEIR FUNCTION WITHIN THE ATTRITIONAL FUTURE OF SIMULTANEOUS ECOLOGICAL DECAY AND MONOCULTURAL DIGITAL INFINITY.

HIS WORK HAS OCCURRED OVER TEN YEARS, INITIALLY CONCEIVED THROUGH A CAREER IN NARRATIVE AND EXPERIMENTAL FILM, MIGRATING THROUGH PAINTING TOWARDS GESTURAL & PUBLIC, CONCEPTUAL WORK: MORE LATELY TAKING FORM THROUGH SCULPTURE AND INSTALLATION. HIS PROCESS IS ROOTED IN HIS EARLIEST SKILL: WRITING, FROM WHICH IT PRIVATELY MANIFESTS AS POETRY, SCALING TO SUBSEQUENT VISUAL, SONIC OR EXPERIENTIAL ART WORKS.
