Born in Kerala in 1991, Amjum Rizve has done graduation from Trivandrum Fine Arts college and post-graduation from Chamarajendra Academy of Visual arts, Mysore. Amjum’s work has solemnly come from his own eternal life experiences. Highly fascinating influence of Persian art, combined with enthralling decorative artistic influence, set his work to a higher level of perfection. The high influence of Mughal and Persian miniature guided him to a decorative world of art. Mythology, religion, poetry, literature, art history, textile, and decorative art from both eastern and western traditions – all these are infused with artistic imaginations. This perceived change in his body of art, comes up as a byproduct of his never-ending travel experiences. Amjum tries to recreate the extrinsic objectives in his personal space of imagination and recreates it in a narrative form in his artistic work. . In other sense, Amjum is trying to elaborate his socio-political activity and arguments through the images. His recent works suggest a fantastical world, full of intricate details, rich colour and registered collection of intensive drawings and religious images. Some of his notable exhibitions include “IDAM”, an event associated with the Kochi Muziris Biennale, organized in collaboration with Kerala Lalithakala Akademi, held at Durbar Hall Art Gallery in Ernakulam in 2023. In 2022, he participated in “LOKAME THARAVADU”, a contemporary art exhibition curated by Bose Krishnamachari in Alappuzha, Kerala. He was part of “Polyphonies in Distance”, curated by Sibdas Sengupta, in 2023 at Gallery Dotwalk. Additionally, he exhibited in “Things Are Vanishing Before Us”, curated by Premjish Achari, also in 2023 at Bikaner House, New Delhi. His work was featured in “Luminous Reveries”, curated by Premjish Achari in 2023, and will be showcased in “Of Barriers and Distances”, curated by Parvez in 2024. Lastly, he is set to present in “Siren's Lullaby in a Forgotten Realm”, curated by Premjish Achari in 2024 at Chitramayee State Gallery of Art, Hyderabad.
Amjum Rizve lives and works in Mysore, Karnataka.
