Artwork Description

Lying on my bed listening to music inspired this drawing as my thoughts drew deeper inward and all awareness of the outside world vanished. Embracing the quiet and solitude of a moment to myself where the darkness of closed eyes feels as edgeless and endless as the other side of a black hole.

Artist Bio

*Selling my early works at reduced prices as I prepare to move my practice to the UK. I’d love for them to find new homes, since I can’t take them with me. Every sale supports my creative journey and future art inspired by European travel and history. Thank you for supporting my work.*

Shani Ghosh is an Australian-British artist specialising in detailed, surrealistic graphite and charcoal drawings. Graduating from the National Art School in 2022 with a major in Photomedia, she creates her works using photo collages as references. Drawing from introspection through journalling and meditation, she develops visual metaphors featuring anonymous figures in surreal environments. Her work explores consciousness and the merging of psychological and physical worlds, with each highly detailed drawing serving as a meditative record of time spent in creation.

Shani's work has been showcased in various galleries across Sydney. Notable exhibitions include her figurative drawings at the Warringah Creative Space, photography in the Rayner Hoff Gallery, and the National Art School’s Library Stairwell Gallery. Three group exhibitions at TAP Gallery in 2024 have included a variety of her drawings and paintings.

Beyond her exhibitions, Shani has contributed to the arts community through teaching art classes and interning at the Kensington Contemporary Art Gallery. These experiences have enriched her role as a creative mentor, artist, and writer for the arts. Her commissioned works reside in private collections across Australia, New Zealand, and London, attesting to the local and international appeal of her art.
