Sculptural Embroideries on Wood by Nosheen Iqbal Translate Architectural Motifs into Thread
Briefly

Dallas-based artist Nosheen Iqbal merges her Pakistani and Islamic heritage with contemporary Western techniques in her art. Her floral embroideries, set against wooden panels, feature vibrant arabesques and geometric motifs, enhanced by the interplay of light and shadow. The series "Botanical Allegory" features arch-like designs that reflect Iqbal's aim to blend ancient craft with modern innovations. This synthesis of cultural backgrounds informs her innovative approach, evident in her upcoming exhibition at Galleri Urbane in Dallas from June 21 to August 8.
Evoking architecture, her series Botanical Allegory features several works with rounded edges and arch-like shapes. Blending ancient design and craft traditions mirrors the artist's desire to bring seemingly disparate mediums, techniques, and ideas together.
As light moves across my pieces, it enhances the saturation of colors and emphasizes the intricate threadwork, shifting and revealing new dimensions.
