MYRNA SHOA art-prints.
Nahem Shoa talks about life, art, nature, climate change, race and Black Lives matter during Covid-19 2020. His themes have always reflected current concerns. His paintings of his friends from BME backgrounds were ahead of their times. Racism then was so systemic that these paintings were not given their true significance. He is part of the Arborealists, artists who love trees.
Nahem Shoa's painting of Desiree is on display at The Laing, Newcastle, 
PictureNahem Shoa
Nahem Shoa’s artistic vision draws heavily on the current state of the world  that capture the zeitgeist of this present moment in history,.climate change nature, trees, race, BLM, BME and BAME, art history and the complex and visionary language of his subconscious imagination. Shoa creates multi coloured, layered, contemporary figurative landscape paintings that combine translucent vibrant drizzles, of paint, chunky impasto, hallucinatory colour glazes with emotional drawing marks scratched into the surface of the canvas. In these contemporary scenes

Nahem Shoa constructs his contemporary scene with theatrical flair: his figures are staged in Baroque compositions and there is always an element of spectacle, drawing on his encyclopedic knowledge of Art History and technique. Like Doig, Richter, Rauch and Ghenie, Shoa gets to the heart of the expressiveness of paint capturing a poetic vibrancy through texture, richness of colour and illusion of light.

"When a butterfly lands for 10 minutes on your drawing you know that you are totally at one with nature and she is blowing you kisses. The more I look at trees I marvel at their ability to adapt and survive, They live so long and have been witness to so many human events that you truly feel they have a soul."  Nahem Shoa 2018 (extract).

"Shoa seems to be a artist who has a craving for the strange and the extreme, which only goes to make these drawing more disturbing, beautiful and full of visionary character."

Together they manufactured and sold the hippie style women’s clothes retail and wholesale from a back street run down shop, where they also lived, in London.

During the year Ruti and Myrna took their clothes to sell at music festivals such as The Glastonbury Festival, The Rougham Tree Faire and others around the UK.
