Nadeem Chaudry 

Nadeem is a textile artist that goes to uni, He has managed to get a lot of the work he has created into galleries so he can show the world what he does. Nadeem gave us a talk at college on how he started out and to this day is slowly pursuing his life goal as a textile artist. 

Nadeem is a Pakistani Muslim born and raised in England but has a few members of his family that are from very different ethnic backgrounds such as his grandparents and parents who were actually brought up in africa. 

Nadeem bases most of his art on thoughts from his head which relate to sexuality, religion and culture and the way he sees each subject and what they each mean personally to him as an artist. A lot of his work is mainly based around sexuality though which we saw a lot throughout his presentation. Some of his sculptural pieces can be very striking but beautiful at the same time. I feel that a lot of his work is hard to understand when you first look at it because some of his sculptures are not at all like what the average artist would normally create.

I love that some of his work needs an explanation as this means that when people first take a look at his work it is up to them to decide in their own minds what his pieces might mean, i think Nadeem likes to leave a lot of the work down to each individuals imagination because that way it becomes more exciting when he reveals to people what his piece is actually all about and it is also interesting to find out what other people's first impressions of his art were. 

Here are some images of the sculptures he presented to our group at the talk and explained to us...
