marium m. habib
Gentleman, 2024, oil on linen, 120x90cm
Marium M. Habib (b.1993, Karachi) is a London based painter, whose work looks to explore themes of gender and orientalism and the power dynamics that inform them.
Her slightly abstracted figurative works, humorous, subversive, and reflective in equal measure, make use of both people and animals, often set against lush backdrops redolent of her childhood, to convey social observation and emotional responses.
Marium has shown in London, Karachi, Lahore, and Barcelona and has recently completed an MFA in Painting from the Slade School of Fine Art.
