About
Syeda Begum is a painter, printmaker and designer living and working in London.
Syeda Begum’s work is heavily influenced by the urban environment of London. Often very minimal and stripped back Begum’s works are a response to the city. Drawing on key forms in the architecture or playing with urban colours of street signs, Begum’s works present her sense of detachment and disconnection from London.
Begum's work is very minimal and extremely subjective. Working with the language of painting, Begum's work delves into the nature of abstraction and presents a contemporary, considered response to painting today.
Born 1988 in Stoke on Trent, Syeda obtained her degree in Painting at Wimbledon College of Art in 2012. She has recently completed the Postgraduate Programme with The Art Academy, London Bridge.
