A restless soul, Parvez left for London early in his career where he came under the influence of British artist Alan Davie. His signature style featured an explosion of geometric shapes and curious objects issuing from a jug, or cup or vase or as suggested in this work, a green table. Finely crafted and compositionally refined, Parvez’s surface treatment begs close scrutiny.
