About
Shibu Arakkal is an Indian photographic artist.
Creating conceptual artworks from photography, Arakkal’s practice is based on his philosophic and abstract view of life itself, heeding more to the intangible than the tangible.
Having shown in over fifty solo and group exhibitions, in a career of over twenty-five years, he is internationally recognised and was awarded the prestigious ‘Lorenzo il Magnifico’ Gold Prize in digital art at the Florence Biennale 2013 in Italy.
Arakkal is an experimenter in analogue and digital photographic mediums and is also the creator of the term ‘iPhonography’, the medium of digital photography using the iPhone.
