A first-class graduate from Oxford in Painting, Jafri is one of the most exciting British painters on the contemporary art scene. He’s had recent international sell out shows including an exhibition in conjunction with a recently discovered collection of Warhols which travelled to Dubai and Singapore.
He will have a solo show in London in June at Alexia Goethe Gallery (who has shown Joan Miró, Fernand Léger and Raoul Dufy) called /Disappearing Landscapes/. This new exhibition focuses on the decaying landscapes of London (such as The Houses of Parliament and Tower Bridge), drawing our attention to views and vistas that may not be around for much longer.
Jafri’s work has featured in countless publications, on television and on radio. Hailed by BBC London News as ‘The Renaissance Man who is set to seduce us away from conceptual art with his passion for painting’. BBC 2 commented that ‘Jafri has bought back the skill of painting to contemporary art’. The Evening Standard said ‘Sacha seems to have taken the work of Jackson Pollack one step further……His work is truly exciting and, now, highly collected’.
