Ahkeem Shaw

I am a self-taught, multidisciplinary artist who is passionate about color and design. My practice spans photography, film, music production, fashion design, and drawing. When using my favorite medium, soft pastels, I enjoy the challenge of blending colors to get specific hues and shades that range from vibrant to earth tones. Growing up in a highly creative household, I take pride in my strong matrilineal artistic DNA.

My grandmother was a self-taught artist, my mother is a local artist, and my sister is an art scholar and curator. My inspiration stems from my home environment, which is filled with contemporary art, art books, and multicultural home décor.

My goal is to create vibrant, unconventional art that evokes curiosity while also conveying the unique rhythm of the collaged hip hop references that populate my work.
