Jasmir Creed is a painter exploring urban alienation and the contemporary transcultural. The paintings show figures apart and separate from crowds including South Asian women. Her paintings show the city as a rich forest-like environment of the known and the unknown. On her journeys through cities, she observes and records crowds in flux in spaces of temporary transit such as railway stations and iconic buildings e.g., Trafalgar Square, London. Organic crowd forms move in and out of each other juxtaposed with man-made architecture. Rich combinations of colour are used in her work including monochromes dramatically contrasting with warm and cool colours including yellows and blues.
