Creativity takes courage ‘UNDER THE MASK’

Under the Mask, is a recently published limited edition book which stores a compilation of contemporary artwork created by the renowned artist Himmat Shah. The book is a visual representation of the drawings that he created during the coronavirus pandemic. In 2020, when the world came to a standstill due to the coronavirus pandemic, Shah followed his heart and his talent to express the uncertainty of time through his artwork. The book encompasses notable drawings produced in paper and ink by Himmat Shah. He created these drawings with deep contemplation and meaning, depicting the circumstances caused in our world by the pandemic.

The collection draws inspiration from Shah’s surroundings, the natural world and his thoughts. The artwork speaks out loud a message of hope, light, miracle and a better tomorrow.

The book has been very thoughtfully designed by Cartist, Jaipur in an artistic manner to align with the theme and work of the artist. The slipcover of the book provides an outline of the book title and artist’s name, which represent how at one end our world was protected by the mask and on the other, our dear ones were losing their lives amid the dreadful pandemic. The hardcover has a visual display of the title along with a real mask in the centre and white cloth symbolises purity and innocence and blue colour, which symbolises hope and protection provided by the mask to the world.

“Given that the work was produced during a pandemic by Himmat Shah, it was a bit of a challenge for us to meet his expectations and do justice to this book. However, we had a great experience conceptualising and designing this book. The book will be officially launched in Jaipur in the third week of May 22”, says Himanshu Jangid, Founder of Cartist, Jaipur.
