my identity my art
Solo exhibition of Hasnat Mehamood’s “BUY ONE GET ONE” opened at Rohtas Art Galleries, Model Town
Jan 27th
Hasnat said it is something different from the ordinary. He said that “I have seen many so tags of western brands depicting “Made in Pakistan” or “Made in Sri Lanka”, or the name of some other developing country. He said his work was influenced by theses tags. He further said he took this phenomenon from the business world and translated it to the art world. On one level, the images I make are simply copies of famous artworks but the inscriptions that I insert are equally important. The text tells a story of the pictures and other origins or influences.

Cubic Art Exhibition by Salman Farooqi at Tanzara Gallery
Jan 22nd
Karachi based artist, Salman Farooqi opened his contemporary cubic art exhibition on Thursday at the Tanzara Gallery. Capitalising on his talent for linear work brought alive through luminous colours, he worked in ‘oil on canvas’ form.

His rendering of subject matter is stylised and the forms are simplified in various geometrical configurations that are created with both skill and spontaneity. Quickly drawn lines in his work traverse the canvases, creating a variety of forms where both bold shapes More >
