Preetal Shah’s most recent work is rooted in stream of consciousness. Each composition begins with a foundational concept, typically a geometric form exploring depth, scale, and space. Subsequent elements are added spontaneously, with deliberate consideration of their relationship to the overall composition. In each piece, Preetal’s architectural training is visible in the use of drafting techniques, along with the interplay of space, form and order. Influenced by Surrealist artists Yves Tanguy, and Joan Miro, as well as Abstract Expressionist painter Al Held, and Constructivist artist Eli Lissitzky, Preetal’s work attempts to connect a line between the abstract and familiar.
