Maharaj’s work has evolved through numerous styles over the years, yet the landscape, particularly the rural landscape has remained at the heart of his vision. In Changes in the Landscape, he builds upon his iconic explorations of women within their environments, re-imagining familiar spaces through striking shapes and vibrant colours. As the artist himself explains: “This body of work is a continuation of the woman in the landscape series. Environments have now been modified in terms of shapes and colours. It is my ongoing investigation of redefining our matriarchs within their spaces.”
With over forty years of international experience, Shastri Maharaj continues to shape Caribbean art with work that is rooted in local culture yet speaks to a wider audience. Changes in the Landscape is another milestone in his remarkable career.
