My Journey
The process of publishing and exhibiting my work within institutional settings has been an essential element in opening up my research to discourses within academia and the wider arena - Vic Allen, Executive Art Director of the Dean Clough galleries, writes:
Dashamir Vaqari’s large, thoughtful oil paintings simultaneously display past and present iconography and are intended to work both symbolically and sensually. Perhaps the most striking feature of the work is its continental styling and emphasis on traditional skills; something that itself raises questions about the gulf that lies between the West and East Europe (2018).
