About the Item
Jamavar
The Jamavar of Kashmir is an exquisite heritage textile of India. The original Jamavar was a yard-long shawl of pashmina wool with delicate patterns handwoven in multicolored silk weft threads. Its authentic designs are finely intricate, imparting gentle aristocracy with its most outstanding and popular motif being the elongated teardrop, originally called 'buteh'. The 'buteh' is what one now recognizes as the 'paisley'.
These artworks are compositions of the timeless 'buteh' of the Jamavar. The wall panels are embroidered with fine thread cords couched along the pattern.
A note on handmade:
A handmade product is always appealing due to the irregularities in its workmanship. This is what sets it apart from machine made or computerized; the perfection they offer feels synthetic or artificial. Especially when one speaks of art and craft.
These wall panels are works of hand worked embroideries. Imperfections such as an occasional puckering of the base material are expected with the kind of embroidery stitches used.
You are assured these artworks are embroidered by highly skilled artisans (it is not possible for craftsmen of lesser experience to create these pieces) The materials used for the embroideries are of superior quality only.
About: Shabbir Merchant
"Art is just perception. The first glance is an emotion, your emotion. The title of the canvas is read after that."- Shabbir Merchant.
Shabbir Merchant is a textile artist from Mumbai, who has been engineering embroideries into art since two decades. His canvases vary from haute couture garments to opulent interior made-ups to wall art.
A graduate in fashion design from Kansas State University, Shabbir's intrigue for embroideries moved him to India, where his creativity transitioned from garment design to surface decoration.
Shabbir's style is laboriously intensive, employing traditional embroidery techniques (a penchant for Dogh and Wasli) and a plethora of mixed materials, sometimes as many as twenty eight colors in a six inch square. Architecture inspires him: the geometry, structure, domes, decorations. His artwork thus translates as absolute ethnic and ornamental, or base minimalist carrying his obsessive signature of detailed intensity.
Shabbir's work has couturiers, interior designers, luxury hotels, socialites, and their homes on its client list.
