BIOGRAPHY

Shani Ghosh is an Australian-British artist specialising in detailed, surrealistic graphite and charcoal drawings. Graduating from the National Art School in 2022 with a major in Photomedia, she creates her works using photo collages as references. Drawing from introspection through journalling and meditation, she develops visual metaphors featuring anonymous figures in surreal environments. Her work explores consciousness and the merging of psychological and physical worlds, with each highly detailed drawing serving as a meditative record of time spent in creation.

 

Shani's work has been showcased in various galleries across Sydney. Notable exhibitions include her figurative drawings at the Warringah Creative Space, photography in the Rayner Hoff Gallery, and the National Art School’s Library Stairwell Gallery. Three group exhibitions at TAP Gallery in 2024 have included a variety of her drawings and paintings.

 

Beyond her exhibitions, Shani has contributed to the arts community through teaching art classes and interning at the Kensington Contemporary Art Gallery. These experiences have enriched her role as a creative mentor, artist, and writer for the arts. Her commissioned works reside in private collections across Australia, New Zealand, and London, attesting to the local and international appeal of her art.
