Back Into The Future
Creative Gaga
|Issue 38
Finding the modern in the ancient is a matter of vision and desire, to renew the old in such a way that is thoroughly transformed in not only its form and look, but its very fibre and perception. That is what illustrator Omar Gilani prefers to do through his rather fascinating interpretations.
CG. Your range of work bears contemporariness as a trend that seemingly defines or represents your style. What inspired this concept and what is your idea behind it?
OG. I wanted to show what I want to see (more like giving a perspective into one’s outlook, interpretations and perceptions). Science fiction or fantasy typically falls into very western tropes, and the subcontinent is usually ignored in those regards. That was frustrating, for me – that no one was depicting how this region may look in the future, and so I decided to give it a shot in my spare time just for fun.
CG. What impact or effect do you intend this ‘contemporary’ or ‘modern’ element to have upon your audience?
