ISLAMABAD: A joint exhibition by two artists, titled Moving Forward; Reflection of the Soul, opened on Sunday.
Samreen Asif and Salma Manzoor, who are faculty members at Comsats University, have 34 works on display at the Nomad Art Gallery.
Some of the works such as Paradise, the Saffar series, Nostalgia, Springtime, Landscape and the Come Fly with Me series are made with herbal and water colours and acrylics on wasli by Samreen Asif and the Barcode series, Days We Talk Less, and Fusion by CPEC done in water colour on paper, are a mix of modern and classic miniature and are outstanding.
“The two artists have managed the space and flow very skilfully,” commented Ahmed Habib, an established artist in his own right.
“Managing empty spaces is a very challenging job for an artist, but the works of the two artists show their confidence and art of playing with colour with ease and perfection,” he complimented.
“It is a meaningful and thought-provoking exhibition of paintings of the two women artists,” Nomad director Nageen Hyat, who also curated the exhibition, said.
Both come together on a striking collaborative piece, Amalgam, a subtle expression of the movement of energy and emotion, done in herbal and water colours and acrylics on wasli, while maintaining their individuality, Ms Hyat said.
