Art from Sindh on display
KARACHI: It is heartening to see emerging artists working shoulder to shoulder with the seasoned painters and sculptors of Pakistan. A strong evidence of it can be seen at the Arts Council of Pakistan Karachi where a show titled ‘Sindh Artists Exhibition’, which concludes on Wednesday, showcases works of more than 70 artists.
The exhibition is divided into two sections: Vision 1 and Vision 2. The former comprises works of 27 senior artists and the latter has on display paintings of 48 young creative souls. And it’s a nice little combination.
Let’s take a look at the first section which has on view works of artists with proven credentials such as Rabia Zuberi, Naheed Raza and Qudsia Nisar. This is what makes it difficult to write about any particular work because it’s an embarrassment of riches. It would be, however, unjust not to discuss Omer Farid and Akram Spaul’s artworks. These artists over the years have impressed art lovers with the quality of their craft and the fertility of their imagination.
