All about water and colour
KARACHI: It is a positive sign that in an age where conceptual art has taken the world of visual expression by storm, modern-day Pakistani artists, young at that, are still employing media such as watercolour to put their message across. A group exhibition titled Water and Colour that is under way at the Full Circle Gallery is a testimony to the observation.
Five artists are taking part in the show: Anum Ashraf, Arif Ansari, Farooq Aftab, Muntehaa Azad and Sadia Arif.
Farooq in one of his untitled paintings uses the metaphor of the boat. It has a couple of connotations –– journey and fertility, because at the heart of his visual narrative is the river which helps people both earn a living and get to one place from another.
