When Verve unveiled their Art issue in conjunction with the opening of Shahid Datawala’s latest series of photographic works, the audience vied with the art for attention.

Presented by Tarq at their beautiful gallery in Colaba, Mumbai, amidst heritage buildings that are the pride of the city, the two series that make up Remains of the Day - Half Naked Nude and Unstill Life - come together in their common theme of an exploration of the uncanny in everyday objects. They are influenced by Datawala’s wider practice that branches into the realms of design and fashion photography. His unique eye for seeking out the extraordinary amidst the banal is evident in these complementary bodies of work.
