Experience the work of Raqib Shaw on a guided tour. The artist’s exquisitely rendered paintings seamlessly combine references to Western and Asian art histories, as well as sacred themes. Reflecting these intertwined traditions, the title of the exhibition—Raqib Shaw: Ballads of East and West—is taken from the Rudyard Kipling poem “The Ballad of East and West.”
