Labyrinth opens
KARACHI: When we read or hear the word labyrinth, some of us are immediately reminded of a film starring David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly, and the latter’s strenuous effort to get out of a big maze in order to rescue her brother. The film could be interpreted in a number of ways, but to put it simply, it was about life and its pitfalls.
A group show titled Labyrinth opened at the Full Circle Gallery on Tuesday. Although the four artists whose works are on display do not associate themselves with Hollywood and its stars, they do seem to be intrigued by the mystery that life is.
First up, Anas Abro is interested in the age-old body-soul dichotomy. In his untitled paintings, the artist leans more towards examining the body through postures that are not difficult to associate emotion with. The aim, however, is to underline the fact that physicality is dependent on spirituality (soul, if you like) to stand counted.
