He is a graduate of  the Kala Raksha Vidhalaya, a design school run by Judy Frater  which provides artisans with an education programme that helps  them design and make products that suit growing urban markets.  The programme encourages artisans to take charge of their own  creativity and explore their traditions in a contemporary context.  As design education in colleges and universities is not  accessible to these artisans, it is a unique programme which was  initially taught at the Kala Raksha Vidhalaya (KRV) and is now  taught at the Somaiya Kala Vidya. Graduates of the school call  themselves artisan-designers/artists. \r\n\r\nKhalid Amin comes from a family of ajrakh printers. After  attending the KRV he was confident in exploring the possibilities  of printing. He has developed a more free, expressive style which  has gained him a reputation as an innovative artist resulting in a  solo show of his work at the Artisans Gallery, Mumbai in 2010.  He has since taken part in other exhibitions including ‘Cotton  Exchange’ an exchange between artists in Ahmedabad and  Manchester.\r\n\r\nThis piece reflects his expermentation. ‘Haji Ali’ represents  the Haji Ali mosque off the coast of Mumbai which he  remembers from his visit to the city when he was a young boy.  The ariel view shows the mosque surrounded by water and the  walkway which links it to the mainland. The image is framed with  more recognisable patterns from traditonal ajrakh designs.  Alongside his art work, Khalid Amin continues to do ‘job work’,  the more traditional ajrakh printing as this is brings a regular  income.
