My paintings are informed by life in East London where I have lived since 1968 and aim to reflect its changing character and mood. Recent work comprise a series of 'timescapes' and attempts to convey the disappearing landmarks and shifting communities of this part of the city. Alongside living characters mingle blue ghostly former residents, these figures mingle under the looming presence of other cast 'characters' former landmarks such as libraries, churches, pubs, shops and other markers and emblems of commerce and past civic pride. They throw their blue remembered shadows across populated streets. https://ferhafarooqui.weebly.com
