SHAUN ILAHI

  • Shaun Ilahi is an Omaha-based artist and world traveler. His artwork reveals the richly layered nature of reality and connections found between past/ present/ future, seemingly disparate geographies, the deeply personal and shared archetypes. Shaun utilizes a variety of media and techniques including photography, painting, sewing, writing, and projection to create nonlinear, narrative artworks that engage the viewer as a participant in making meaning.
