Muhammad Asghar was born in Lahore in 1965. His canvases adeptly capture the expression of his personal inner solace and harmony. The religious intensity with which Asghar exhibits his talent and creative potential exposed itself during his eight years in Saudi Arabia, where a special selection commitee assigned him the monumental task of Naqqashi restoration work in the domes of Masjid-eNabawi in Madinah al Munawwara. An honor not only for the painter but also for Pakistan. Working as a designer in a printing press in Saudi Arabia for most of the time, Asghar continued with his art work on the subject of environment and culutre. Homesickness was the deciding factor when he declined the renewal of his stay permit in Saudi Arabia. Muhammad Agshar's brand of succes should set a fitting example for the importance of preserving and perpetuating the art of calligraphic painting of the future. http://www.danka.com.pk/viewEvent.php?id=253Date: Wed, 30 Nov 2005 To Mon, 05 Dec 2005 Sabir Nazar has a unique background; he creates superb titles of The Friday Times.

He fills sheets with symbols to suggest messages indirectly. The manner in which he paints also expresses different moods and ideas. In grotesque caricatures, Sohail conveys both amusing and tortured souls simultaneously. The grotesque is indeed the merging of grim and pleasing elements. By placing together opposite sentiments, he creates tension in his image. The intense colours capture the eye , while the scrapes and scratches in the pigment disturb the vision. Thus, the work continually shifts between attraction and repulsion. Tassadaq Sohail resided in England for many years. He had the opportunity to exhibit in Norway and Sweden, among other European countries, where he learned about local legends that he would later incorporate in his art. He currently lives in Karachi and continues to symbolically represent people and places in his inimitable style. http://www.danka.com.pk/viewEvent.php?id=293Date: Fri, 23 Dec 2005 To Sun, 01 Jan 2006 "at the door, between", 2004-2005, is a preview of the works of Afshar Malik. http://www.danka.com.pk/viewEvent.php?id=294Date: Wed, 28 Dec 2005 To Mon, 02 Jan 2006 Medallion feature in Persian carpets is due to Chinese influence when Turkoman, Mongol and Chinese dynasties waved in Persia. After that, in Safavid dynasty 1503 to 1732 a. C. the use of medallion structure became the most popular compositional principal for Persian Pile carpets. The center of rectangle contains a round shape (medallion) and its corners quarters of the same motif (quarter medallion). Each medallion is accompanied along the the length of the rectangle by a pair of cartouches and one of shield motife. As a result in the medallion composition all other ornaments appear four times on the surface in a horizontally and verticaly mirrored arrangements. That’s the basic principal of the composition which is extraordinary monoton and symetrical. Saqib Riaz takes those unique features as a source of inspiration and improvisation in a post modern and contemporary lay-out. http://www.danka.com.pk/viewEvent.php?id=297Date: Wed, 28 Dec 2005 To Mon, 02 Jan 2006 "As a person who belongs to Sindh, I spent my childhood living and breathing in its culture. From the time my mother told me to cover myself with a dupatta, I used to be forever taking her Ajrak one. Over the years, I felt that some changes and innovation can be brought into the Ajrak motifs. The repetition of motives and limited color palate needed to be look into. Being a designer I decided to work on it. So, I am working on the motifs of Ajrak with the concept, to break the symmetry of the motifs of Ajrak and bring them out from traditional into contemporary. The execution of my concept will be in form of bedroom interior products which includes bed linen, cushions, curtains etc." Ayesha Sani http://www.danka.com.pk/viewEvent.php?id=303Date: Wed, 28 Dec 2005 To Wed, 04 Jan 2006 Exhibition by Naveed, Bachelor of Ceramic Design: "Tiles and facing Bricks generally adorn the abodes and edifices but depicts feelings, moods and thoughts of those who live there.

Inspired from the works of French philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty, the digital works are the key to new spatial perceptions without which the experience of architecture is incomplete. Shifting perspectives––multiple view points––movement of eye in horizontal and vertical planes––this all creates a parallactic sequence where parallax effects are achieved by the overlapping perspectives. . Two digital SLR cameras are used to photograph the Elephant Peer Area of Lahore Fort in different seasons and times of the day in a period of one full year. These images are then superimposed to create the coherent phenomenal experience.By: Adeela Mushtaq and Maryam Fayyaz The invitation can be found here. http://www.danka.com.pk/viewEvent.php?id=1673Date: Tue, 09 Jan 2007 To Sat, 20 Jan 2007 Solo Exhibition of Miniature paintings by Farheen Maqsood.http://www.danka.com.pk/viewEvent.php?id=1663Date: Wed, 10 Jan 2007 To Wed, 17 Jan 2007 Nairang Galleries and Nayyar Ali Dada cordially invite you for a solo exhibition of paintings by Aziz Hasan, opening nn Wednesday 10th January, 2007 at 5:30 p.m.Sardar Aseff Ahmed Ali has kindly agreed to inaugurate the exhibitionThis exhibition look at work by an artist from Karachi, who is well ingrained in producing stimulating abstract expressionism in his own individual vocabulary. Aziz Hasan is a businessman by profession, whose work was first recognized by Ali Imam, icon in the world of fine arts. Inspired by Gulgee, to Sufi poet Rumi, his work reflects his passion for art which gave him the driving force to become an artist. His inspiration comes from divine creations as well as art and architecture. His abstract stroke continues to give birth to forms related to life. Aziz Hasan has a natural feel for color and creates extremely decorative surfaces. A strong element that permeates the work is the artists obvious pleasure in the process of painting. Incidents, impressions, emotions, events, all leave their impact on our mind and soul after viewing Aziz work.Abstraction is a symbolic phenomenon like modern poetry where the artist is absolutely free to express his feeling in any color or shape. Nairang Galleries is pleased to present a solo exhibition of new works by Aziz Hasan, and we look forward for an exciting audience, to appreciate art in any mode and medium.www.azizhasan.com http://www.danka.com.pk/viewEvent.php?id=1675Date: Tue, 16 Jan 2007 To Tue, 30 Jan 2007 Career diplomat by day and passionate artist by night, H.E. Mr. Ghassan Muhsin, Ambassador of Iraq based in Bahrain is as dedicated and successful in his artistic endeavors as he is in his profession. He was taught by some of the most well known pioneers of art, Shakir Hassan Al-Sai’d, Ismail Fateh Al Turk & Dr. Ismail Al Sheikhly during his schooling apart from which he has no formal training in the arts, allowing for a freshness in his work that have brought him great success. Three main themes have found their way into his work; calligraphy, architectural and floral motifs and lately collage. Calligraphy is used more in a way of doodling. His influences come from such great impressionists as Cezanne, Matisse, Klee, Klimt, and Gauguin, Monet being his favorite.Ghassan Muhsin’s work is being exhibited in Pakistan after a gap of twenty years. While serving at the Iraqi Embassy at Islamabad between 1981-1986 he held four solo shows and took part in important national exhibitions. His love for Pakistan, its land and people is evident in his work and the latest collection affectionately and appropriately titled ‘Back to Pakistan’ .Colorful scenes rendered with sensitivity speak volumes of  his love for landscape-both urban and rural. His landscapes range from deftly rendered observations to decorative nature based brews, reflecting the great joy and lust for life residing within him. Ghassan Muhsin having no formal training in art is his own teacher and student; this requires discipline and hard work. He trusted his own instincts and applied all the experience and opportunity that his career as a diplomat gave him to observe various cultures, history and art practices that shaped his technique and honed his skill. ‘I can’t deny that in some respects my work affects my art, but in a positive way’, says Muhsin. ‘I turn to my workshop and paint whenever I feel inspired or moved by current events’. That he is proud of his roots and civilization is evident in the fact that he does not imitate or borrow from contemporary art or other cultures but constructs images that reflect his innovation in art enforcing the beauty of his culture, civilization and environment not as a duty or responsibility but more as an identity statement.  Exhibition starts 16th January with innaugaration by the Governor of Punjab.

Those were the artists he could hang out with, and enliven the art scene,’ says Marjorie HusainFrom an interivew from The Gallery Magazine in Dawn... Impatient to savour life, Zoay left his art studies at the National College of Art, Lahore, in 1971, and took the Hippy trail, journeying through Afghanistan, Turkey, on to Germany and many other parts of the world. He hitch-hiked going wherever the drivers took him, over long stretches of land through numerous towns and rural areas. He fell in with groups, met up with characters that put him in touch with others of their ilk in other countries. Three years of a nomadic existence passed before Zoay returned to Lahore in 1974. Here, the National Council of the Arts employed him. With the job went the opportunity to spend time in the Kalash Valley, where he carved forms from blocks of wood and strengthened his belief in the supremacy of nature. His first solo exhibition of sculpture and paintings was held at the Lahore Arts Council in ’74. He stayed around until ’77 and then took off again with everything he deemed necessary for living enclosed in a knapsack carried on his shoulder. Zoay never stayed long in any one place; crossing boundaries and borders as best he could. His drawing skills earned him a welcome in the groups of ‘flower children’ as they were known in those days. He sketched their portraits, and drew impressions of sights that attracted his eye on the trail. http://www.danka.com.pk/viewEvent.php?id=1833Date: Thu, 22 Feb 2007 To Thu, 01 Mar 2007 Group show of miniatures by artists Amjad Ali Talpur, Aisha Raheem, Kiran Saeed and Sobia Ahmed opened at the Canvas Art Gallery.

I feel the need to question the role of the forces that manipulate our lives, shapes our beliefs and form our perceptions. Places where exploitation is implanted in the soil and brutality pours from the sky, in these places women in particular and people in general wait for ‘someone’ to come and salvage. My work that includes sewing, mending, joining and tying is a process of hope, hope that may transform callous trends of our time. Have we not been gathering the fragments of our own selves?Do we still need to nurture a deceptive idea of a ‘hero’ implanted by fairytales?………………. “There is no Hero”http://www.danka.com.pk/viewEvent.php?id=3222Date: Sat, 09 Feb 2008 To Fri, 08 Feb 2008 Exhibition - 23 SAARC [South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation] students are exhibiting their work at Alhamra Arts Council. www.saarc-sec.org  http://www.danka.com.pk/viewEvent.php?id=3245Date: Thu, 14 Feb 2008 To Wed, 13 Feb 2008 Exhibition - Prints by Ayesha Kamal and Sarah Ahmed Prof. Naazish Ata-Ullah (Principal- National College of Arts) has kindly agreed to inaugurate the exhibition Opening: 6.2. 5:30PMhttp://www.danka.com.pk/viewEvent.php?id=3276Date: Fri, 15 Feb 2008 To Thu, 14 Feb 2008 An exhibition featuring the water colour paintings of Sarfraz Musawir will be held at the Shakil Ismail Art Gallery the show will continue till Wednesday, February 14.http://www.danka.com.pk/viewEvent.php?id=3250Date: Sun, 17 Feb 2008 To Sat, 16 Feb 2008 Exhibition - Raja Changez "Raja Changez explores intricacies of the human psyche, which has been a favourite subject of philosophers, intellectuals and artist.

Vidha Saumya graduated from Sir J.J. School of Fine Arts specializing in Painting in 2005. After a year’s break during which she traveled, did freelance assignments and read, she joined Srishti School of Arts, Design and Technology in July 2006 to study Visual Communication Design. The South Asia Foundation Scholarship was a dream come true for her, because it enabled her to come to the city of Lahore. She is currently on an independent study Program at Beaconhouse National University. She has been in Lahore for 6 months now. Being away from her own country in a new place made her conscious and attentive of what she noticed around her.   What distinguishes the children here from the children elsewhere? She has tried to maintain the nuances of their identity. This particular age group of children interests her the most because they present themselves oblivious of the correctness of appearance. The naivety pulls you towards the stories that surround tem and engages you into a conversation with them. This series is a conscious effort to express this place from her point of view demonstrating that these children have been her muse on a daily basis and that the worlds in which they lose themselves and the realities that they are aware of.   The exhibition will be inaugurated by Prof. Salima Hashmi on Thursday 21st February 2008 at 6:00 pm at Alliance Française de Lahore’s Gallery and will continue till 1st March 2008.

Asad has skillfully blended colors, calligraphic motifs into a unified statement, creating an ambience of serenity and balance. His skill in manipulating line, color, texture behind exuberant charms and power of forms, reflects aesthetic evolution framed within the technical skills, which excites the viewer and makes his work more interesting yet different.Asad is an artist with flair. Bold strokes, soothing colors and spontaneous expression can define latest work of Asad Faruki. Having great command in line color, texture he successfully comes up with immaculate abstractions. He makes free use of mixed media such as acrylics, oils, collages, transfer techniques that help create brilliant effects. The highly pleasing color palette ranges from deep reds to deep blues and green with touches of bronze and silver. Asad work is a reminder of what an adventure painting can be…Color upon color, collage upon collage in a bold and self assured eruption of expression. Nairang Galleries is pleased to present new works by Asad Faruki and we look forward for an exciting audience to appreciate art in every medium. Curator,Saima Shahhttp://www.danka.com.pk/viewEvent.php?id=3489Date: Mon, 10 Mar 2008 To Sun, 16 Mar 2008 Entry fee is not Confirmed.http://www.danka.com.pk/viewEvent.php?id=3490Date: Mon, 10 Mar 2008 To Sun, 16 Mar 2008 Entry Fee is not Confirmed.   http://www.danka.com.pk/viewEvent.php?id=3461Date: Tue, 11 Mar 2008 To Mon, 10 Mar 2008 * Moin Shah’s art work will go on display at 5.30 p.m. at the Citi Art Gallery on from Wednesday, March 5 till Monday, March 10.http://www.danka.com.pk/viewEvent.php?id=3361Date: Wed, 12 Mar 2008 To Tue, 11 Mar 2008 Art Exhibition: A two person art exhibition featuring the work of Naz Ikramullah and Amin-ur-Rehman will be held at the Chawkandi Art Gallery starting from Tuesday, March 4 till March 11, form 11.00a.m to 8.30 p.m.http://www.danka.com.pk/viewEvent.php?id=3518Date: Wed, 12 Mar 2008 To Thu, 01 Jan 1970 * ‘Folding…unfolding’---exhibition featuring Noorjehan Bilgrami will be launched on Tuesday, March 11 from 5.00 p.m. to 8.00 p.m. at the Canvas Art Gallery.http://www.danka.com.pk/viewEvent.php?id=3519Date: Thu, 13 Mar 2008 To Thu, 20 Mar 2008 National Museum of Pakistan will be displaying the research papers of Sir Shah Muhammad Sulaiman from Thursday, March 13 to 20.http://www.danka.com.pk/viewEvent.php?id=3522Date: Sat, 15 Mar 2008 To Sat, 22 Mar 2008 Only when the moon shines blue - Rhotas 2 gallery invites you to a preview of works by Qasim Riza Shaheen."What was initially meant to be a trilogy became nine grains of salt divisible by three.

Our projects aim to improve the quality of life for the residents of the colony through better healthcare, environment and access to education and vocational training. The proceeds from this exhibition will allow us to run Machar Art 2009, an art therapy program that provides over 300 students in Machar Colony, with art, photography and clay training by professionals in the field. Machar Art is often the only opportunity for most children from one of the most impoverished areas in Karachi to experience the freedom of expression. Art is utilized as education, as therapy, as recreation and as narrative to help these children tell their stories to thelarger Karachi community.With the generous contribution of participating artists, art writers, gallery owners and art lovers, CFC and Chawkandi Art Gallery are hoping to revitalize the union of art and activism, echoed in the words of poetphilosopher Faiz; aur raj karaay gi khalq-e-khuda joh mein bhi houn, joh tum bhi ho To become a friend of Machar Art, please email us at info@concernforchildren.org.pk  The following artists' work will be on display:ABDUL JABBARGULLABID HASANADIL SALAHUDDINADNAN LOTIAAMAR JAMALAMBER ASLAMA.Q.

Exhibition opens at 6:30pm. Mohammad Ali Talpur’s current body of work stemmed from his desire to make “art without content” — to go to back to the craft of drawing. Sitting on the rooftop of his studio, he began tracing the flight paths of birds with felt tip on paper. This developed into his current series of work where he meditatively, sometimes obsessively, immerses himself in the line: closely woven, intense clusters of lines in ink on paper, and acrylic on canvas.

Ghazala has chosen Murree as her primary focus, varying depictions of the hill station in different, and experimental patterns.Primarily an abstract painter, Ghazala has chosen to place colours on her canvas prior to giving them form. This experimental technique has resulted in interesting and surprisingly appealing artwork. The most eye-catching of the pieces on display are Ghazala’s monochromic paintings, which are accented with subtle shades that move from the darker to the lighter end of the spectrum as the viewer’s eyes move from the painting’s base to its apex. The artist has taken great care to present a well-controlled treatment of colour in her pieces.One of the more appreciated monochromic paintings has been done entirely in blue. The end result is very eye-catching, as every object, from the sky to the trees, is presented in accented by the colour ‘blue’. Even the moon, overlooking the landscape, is portrayed in the same, soft colours.Ghazala was born in Peshawar and studied Fine Arts at the Peshawar University. She completed a Book Designing and Illustration Course in 1981 from the National Book Council, Lahore. She has conducted 35 solo exhibitions. She has also won awards from recognised institutions such as the Khana-e-Farhang-e-Iran, Peshawar University and the Peshawar Art Council. http://www.danka.com.pk/viewEvent.php?id=6397Date: Sat, 23 May 2009 To Sun, 30 Aug 2009 Paintings can be seen and bought from Hunerkada after the exhibit as well. To look at works please follow:www.flickr.com/photos/faizaayubwww.paintingsbyfaiza.weebly.com http://www.danka.com.pk/viewEvent.php?id=6371Date: Sun, 24 May 2009 To Wed, 30 Dec 2009 Tale of the Tile: The Ceramic Traditions of Pakistan, an exhibition being held at Mohatta Palace Meuseum.This ceramic exhibition traces ceramics crafts in Pakistan from the Indus Valley civilization circa 4500 B.C to the present day.

Werner Herzog was born in 1942 in Munich, Germany. He is one of the last representatives of the grand era of the European film industry as well as the international cinema. In most of his movies, Herzog wants his leading actors to act beyond their limits – between captivation, passion, desire and pure insanity. The Exhibition – “Film Must Be Physical The photo exhibition “Film Must Be physical”, put together on the occasion of the 60th birthday of German director Werner Herzog, shows photos capturing the director at work during various film shoots. Most of these photos were taken by Beat Presser, who was the set photographer for three of Herzog’s films. Herzog, who has always said that the credibility of his films comes from the complete physical devotion to them, can be seen running, screaming, sweating and crying. He crossed the pain threshold many times and was the creative, and also the physical centre piece of his films. The exhibition is accompanied by a Werner Herzog film series. The Exhibition will be inaugurated on June 1, 2009 and will remain on display for the whole month in the hall of Goethe-Institut Pakistan. http://www.danka.com.pk/viewEvent.php?id=6523Date: Mon, 01 Jun 2009 To Sat, 13 Jun 2009 An exhibition of drawings by 26 artists opened at Vision art gallery on Monday.

A variety of these costumes come from the four provinces as well as Fata, Gilgit, Klash, Nuristan, and Bheels, Kolis, Mengwartiss, eastern Sind and Pawindas of the North West Frontier Province. Dozens of these costumes, especially bridal wears of ladies and those worn by grooms during Nikah and Valima ceremonies, were getting airing on Tuesday in preparation for a month-long exhibition of wedding costumes to be opened at the Lok Virsa by Norwegian Ambassador Robert Kevile on Thursday. While men mostly wear shalwar and embroidered kameez, sometimes made of coarse khaddi, sprinkled with a pugri, it is often replaced by Chogha in Chitral during weddings. And Sindhi men must wear the traditional embroidered caps at weddings as they do on most other occasions, even when they step out of home everyday. However, women bridal dresses are as different and as numerous as the count of stars. Sometimes it is Sari in Karachi, or lacha in Punjab as well chunni tied-dyed to cover their heads. In Norway the traditional wedding costume is called bunad.The designs of this dress are typically elaborate, which go with an embroidered scarf, shawls and handmade silver jewel.The bunads are for both for men and women, although women's bunads are more diverse and popular.http://www.danka.com.pk/viewEvent.php?id=6810Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2009 To Thu, 02 Jul 2009 Exhibition of pulkari on malmal and embroideries of Bahawalpur will open at the Hawwa Craft Co-op on 25th June.The exhibition will continue till July 2.Address: Mount view Plaza, Super Market. http://www.danka.com.pk/viewEvent.php?id=6854Date: Sat, 27 Jun 2009 To Mon, 27 Jul 2009 A paintings exhibition titled ‘Summer Art Show-2009’ started on Saturday at Nomad Art Gallery.Nomad has showcased 26 paintings and prints in different mediums by four artists, including Ufaq Ehsan, Samina Jamshed, Ajnum Ayub and Mughees Riaz.The exhibition provides a soothing breather to art connoisseurs by taking them to realm of ecstasy. In the sizzling heat and humid weather, the exhibition provided fresh air to the terror-affected residents of Islamabad. The aura and diversity of artworks done by these painters, printmakers and graphists, depict unique imageries with a fine blend of creative experiences with mix media, oil on canvas, and sugar lift/ etching.Ehsan through her cache of 10 mix media pieces has reflected spirituality around us. Ehsan’s collection is found grappling with ‘intricate realities’ in her paintings with bold riots of colours.A graduate of National College of Arts (NCA), Lahore, Ehsan’s creations brought to the exhibition are an attempt on her part to share her thoughts about how she would look at the realities of life, which she finds quite complex, as it is evident in her paintings.Experimenting with different mediums, Jamshed in her collection of fur art pieces has highlighted different moods of nature. She has divided her work into different series like, ‘Images of the Souls, ‘Moods’ and ‘Shadows’.The boldness, delicate lines and misty female figures make Jamshed’s work standout amongst others. She paints landscape with very minute details and on spot that make her work a sharp contrast of imagination and reality- as William Wordsworth saw a moving soul.Ayub using the mediums of sugar lift and etching has portrayed reality of nature that gives her an aesthetic satisfaction and a sense of enjoyment while working on it. In her four prints, Ayub seems deeply attracted to and moved by the concerns of the soul. “These prints are the product of my ideas, style, spirit, personality and conscience - none of which can be expressed without the other. I wish to share comments on what is going on in the world, which, after all, is a surrealistic place,” said Ayub while showing one of her prints.She believes that every human being has his own personal space within which they can happily survive. “Every person is attached to the music of his life. We all live in the same space — only our colours are different,” she said while talking to Daily Times.The printmaker has tried to portray women in a happy mood. Most of the women suffer from self-inflicted misery, while in reality, they are just as powerful and assertive as men, she said. She uses her art to encourage women to be close to nature and to communicate with it.Riaz’s serene contemplative moments beside Ravi, with glorious specs of trees and colourful blossoms and vivid description in oil on canvas truly reflect the theory of Kant, who said that the contemplation of nature could provide the deepest moments of self-discovery.A graduate of NCA, Riaz transforms the tranquil moods of nature onto his canvasses. Using the medium of oil on canvas, Riaz has captured landscapes with full command on big canvases. The exhibition would continue till July 27.http://www.danka.com.pk/viewEvent.php?id=6878Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2009 To Tue, 07 Jul 2009 The Karachi School of Arts is organizing a photography exhibition at their in house Gallery.

The work of this emerging artist is abstract but portrays realistic body forms. In one of her large canvases, she has tried to expose violence and radicalism under the umbrella of a mosque as a sign of protection. Hussain’s paintings are powerful and symbolic. The artist has tried to unfold social and political events. Her art has a touch of spirituality and is seen to be directly impacting her own life. She graduated from National College of Arts (NCA) with distinction in fine arts. Her paintings are colourful and balanced and involve the use of varying textures, with lines pre-dominant on the canvas.Ahmed is an artist who needs no introduction. His arrival on the art scene was a sensational event. Within no time, collectors found a common chord with the woman in his paintings who highlighted women issues in his series of three paintings.Najmi’s paintings remind us of French impressionism. He has captured moments in landscapes. The artist is deeply inspired by mustard fields and employs thick textural strokes to give them a close-to-reality look. With his brilliant strokes, he adds a new insight to the extraordinary scale of nature. Meerzad’s work can be described as abstract figurative. His art links the tactile and sensual colour qualities associated with a metaphysical element derived from the American tradition. He has to his credit 1,800 paintings in various mediums and this does not include his digital graphic compositions and photographic art.The exhibition will remain open for public viewing till August 10 http://www.danka.com.pk/viewEvent.php?id=6980Date: Mon, 13 Jul 2009 To Sun, 19 Jul 2009 Aman Art Gallery (AAG) and Muslim Hands International started a seven-day painting exhibition at National Press Club (NPC) with an aim to donate funds to internally displaced persons (IDPs) from Swat, Buner and Malakand.

The artist tries to explore how different forms of repetition were found in everyday cultural practices - sewing patterns, architectural designs, text, lines and writings.The textures seeped into an artists’ imagination and marked the creative process, said Amna while commenting on her work during the press preview.The Lahore-based artist is working with her innovative techniques, using materials like wax, fibre glass and plaster.Graduated from National College of Arts (NCA) in 2003, the artist works as a professional while teaching in the Faculty of Fine Arts at NCA.She works within the context of Islamic culture and inferences.The sculptures transform 2D surfaces into 3D surface with the help of light as the geometrical patterns and transparent reflective colours add delicacy to rays of light. http://www.danka.com.pk/viewEvent.php?id=7181Date: Tue, 04 Aug 2009 To Sun, 30 Aug 2009 A group show of five artists titled ‘Richness in Comparisons’ with perspective on transcendental and topographical paintings is opening today (Tuesday) at Gallery6. Preview of the exhibition was held on Monday. The artist vary from established painters to emerging talents including Sadaf Naeem and Abid Khan from Lahore, Arjumand Hussain and Tayyeb Munawar from Islamabad and Arsalan Naqvi from Hyderabad.Sadaf, who has done very successful solo shows in Lahore, is exhibiting for the second time in a group show in Islamabad. She has evolved a discrete style in which her canvases have very distinct serenity. The women in long white dopattas covering their heads create a mystical ambience and these subjects appear to be in a spiritual realm. Tall barren trees and their shadows and imaginative placement of colours add to the impact. It takes the viewer beyond or above the range of normal physical experience, a stage where the transcendental aspect of each person’s soul gains importance. Treatment of space and figurative drawings are more powerful than the work exhibited by her last year at Gallery6.Abid’s painting process involves many intricate steps that he must complete in order to complete each painting. He strictly adhere to philosophy that every oil painting must be painted with the utmost attention to details, aesthetics, technique and style. His canvases have a special realism and unique quality, very suitable for traditional art and topographical landscapes. Exquisite details and natural colours of oil painting make a great difference.Arjumand is a self-taught painter who is establishing himself among the contemporary abstract painters. His paintbrush moves are dedicated to express his spiritual and experiential emotions in a vibrant way. His strokes are often expressive of turbulence in a sensitive hyperactive mind but overall impact of the finished paintings is that of an artwork that brightens up life. This not only reflects his sensitive and pleasant personality, but also his very positive approach towards life. He paints in acrylics on paper, creating various tonal sensations and visual movements through geometrical patterns, layers of colours and their aesthetic balance. Tayyeb has done calligraphy in a distinguishing way, which could be described as ‘a spiritual geometry’ that is very different from classical calligraphy. His enriched surface of papers displays Quranic verses. The paintings are harmonious and skilfully executed. Application of paint is fluid and moving while its texture creates expressionistic effects but the alphabets are disciplined and contained with design. This reflects that Tayyeb has drawn his inspiration from calligraphy done within geometric patterns on the walls and ceilings of mosques as well as on pages of the books.Arsalan has participated in a group show in Karachi and is being introduced in Islamabad by the gallery. His subject is street children who exist in many major cities, especially in developing countries. A great deal has been written about them and the abuse, neglect and exploitation they face. Arsalan has taken up the challenge to visually present their state with expressive lines and colour contrasts. Hence, we see them on streets with graffiti, news and gossips, working, playing, being alone and depressed or abandoned. His paintings succeed in presenting a strong sense of deprivation. There are no precise categories of street children that he presents, but rather a continuum, ranging from children who spend some time in the streets, to those who live entirely in the streets.The exhibition will continue till August 16.http://www.danka.com.pk/viewEvent.php?id=7204Date: Tue, 04 Aug 2009 To Sun, 30 Aug 2009 Display of paintings by Sadequain, Ozzer Zubi, Tassaduq Sohail, Rabia Zuberi and others at Creative Point art gallery.Timings: 11 am - 7 pm Location: 18-C, 24th Street, Tauheed Commercial, DHA Phase 5.Tel: 5379520. http://www.danka.com.pk/viewEvent.php?id=7300Date: Tue, 04 Aug 2009 To Thu, 13 Aug 2009 “as i see it”, a four person art show in mix media including paintings, digital prints, digital photographs, and sculptures opened yesterday at the Canvas Art Gallery, Karachi, Pakistan. The show exhibits different art work by four brilliant artists each one of them expressing their observations in thought provoking statements invoking strong emotions and feelings in their own individual way, from some of the most ordinary scenes of out of our daily lives. Participating artists Bilal Maqsood, famously known as a musician, has painted Crows in situations and with emotions more commonly associated to us humans. His unique way of comparisons has a witty humor, and the joke is totally on us humans.Brilliant paintings by Madiha Hyder fill intense emotions into the portraits of street children, who live unnoticed, around us, highlighting them so to draw our attention and feel their existence. Artist Mithra Birdie’s work in mixed media on tracing paper speaks of unspoken words, of love and sharing, through soft imagery, of the tenderness warmth of cold morning bed, while the day has yet to unfold. The forth participating artist. Sohail Abdullah has displayed a number of amazing photographs some of walls in Mumbai some also from the Mahesh Textile Mill at Colaba, which has been shut for many years and is used as a popular film / movie set. The pictures shoe layers of textures, brick wall, paint, plaster and climate has created in layers on these walls, and each of these layers have a story of it’s own to take us back in time. Along with these amazing photographs Sohail Also included a series of sculptures, “heroes”, in stoneware clay with terra sigillata, a number of figures resembling the Budai (Hotei), but they are common good natured beings out of a fantasy world, who live indulged in their own simple innocent playful jests, spreading love and laughter’s. These are the heroes who have lived through out the timeline, and have always been and will stay unnamed and unmarked.The whole exhibition is a journey of emotions, thoughts and feelings from simple observations, highlighting the significance of the important details we miss we often simply chose to ignore in our daily lives. The Art Show will continue at the Canvas Art Gallery till the 13th of August, 2009.  http://www.danka.com.pk/viewEvent.php?id=7139Date: Sun, 09 Aug 2009 To Wed, 30 Sep 2009 Sunday, August 9, 2009Time:5:00pm - 7:00pmLocation:26 A, KB Colony, Allama Iqbal Airport Road, Lahore- Cantt.City/Town:Lahore, PakistanPhone:03004298196Email:info@greynoise.orghttp://www.danka.com.pk/viewEvent.php?id=6952Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2009 To Wed, 09 Sep 2009 A collection of contemporary graphic art from Pakistan Germany and Bangladesh In co-operation with the Deputy High Commission of Bangladesh and the VM Art Gallery, Goethe-Institut Pakistan presents an exhibition of selected graphical art from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Germany.

The paintings showed how sensitive this form of art was and how an artist could use his imaginative powers to create beautiful masterpieces.GAG has not only exhibited works of senior artists like Mashkoor Raza and Sadequain, but also some aspirants like AS Rind.The paintings on display could be divided into two simple categories: calligraphy done on white canvas with traditional black colours, and imaginative paintings created by blending different colours that give them an abstract look.In almost all of his paintings, Mashkoor Raza had tried to attract the awestruck glimpses of art admirers by combining the colours blue, red and black in such a way that the Quranic verses seemed to be peering out from the background.Sadequain’s works were clear-cut and depicted the beauty of simplicity in the art of calligraphy.Other artists whose works were displayed included Akram Spaul, Nazir Ahmad, Naseem Nisho Fauz, Mansoor Salim, Irfan Ahmed Qureshi, Muhammad Ali Zahid and Ghulam Murtaza.

In Gandhara, am Fuss des Hindukusch, kreuzten sich einst wichtige Handelswege. Entlang dieser Lebensadern fand ein reger kultureller Austausch statt: Die westliche antike Kultur gelangte mit dem Asienfeldzug Alexanders des Grossen (356 – 323 v. Chr.) nach Gandhara. Aus Indien kam der Buddhismus, und aus Zentralasien wanderten Nomadenvölker wie die Kushana ein. Die verschiedenen Einflüsse verschmolzen zu einer einzigartigen buddhistischen Kultur, die vom 1. bis 5. Jahrhundert blühte. Die Kunst Gandharas strahlt Ruhe und Erhabenheit aus. Die einst prächtigen Klöster waren mit künstlerisch herausragenden Reliefs geschmückt, die durch ihren erzählerischen Reichtum bezaubern: Nirgendwo in der buddhistischen Kunst haben die Bildhauer so viele Episoden aus dem Leben des Buddha dargestellt. Archäologen haben hier Skulpturen entdeckt, die zu den frühesten figürlichen Darstellungen des Buddha gehören. Heute steht das Gebiet der einstigen Hochkultur im Fokus politischer Auseinandersetzungen. 2001 wurden die monumentalen Buddha-Figuren von Bamiyan in Afghanistan gesprengt – einst stolze Zeugen der Gandhara-Kultur. Die pakistanischen Museen, die erstmals ihre Schätze in den Westen ausleihen, zeigen mit dieser Ausstellung eine andere Seite dieser Region: Gandharas Geschichte ist voller Reichtum, Toleranz und kultureller Vielfalt.

No one before him had managed to seize life so realistically within the frames. Moreover his frames depicted moods, whims and cultural settings with an ease which till today is un-surpass able.

Mohammadi Colony is located in Karachi, behind the railroad tracks on Maripur road. Its illegal status deprives it of water, sanitation, education and health care. At this point CFC’s most dominating component in the Community Driven Project is Education and using art to raise awareness and funds is exactly what CFC aimed at as part of its education component in Mohammadi Colony. Every year CFC organizes a summer art program. Professsional artists and photographers from Karachi, along with interns from local schools and colleges are recruited to give instruction to the children from participating school in Mohammadi Colony. Several topics or themes are selected each other to encourage children to use art as a medium to tell stories about their lives. Through this “narrative therapy”, mutual themes emerge and can serve as a basis for uniting the community leading to more effective problem solving. An exhibition is then held displaying the art work and photography created by these children. Proceeds from the event are ploughed into the CFC’s Community Driven Development Project. In addition to the art exhibition for the larger Karachi community, exhibitions are also held in each school that participated, allowing students to see and discuss their work with parents and peers.This year our Art Coordinator Adnan Lotia together with artists Saleem Ansari, Hina Farooqui and Zohaib Zuby handled the art component. Photography was overseen by four year vetran Photography Coordinator Kohi Marri along with esteemed professional photographers, Arif Mehmood, Tapu Javeri, Yousuf Bashir, Stephan Andrew. We were also excited this year to welcome two up and coming young photographers, Mustafa Mohsin and Jamal Ashiqain. Helping the professionals out was a team of thirteen interns most of whom were first year students from The Karachi School of Arts. http://www.danka.com.pk/viewEvent.php?id=7843Date: Sat, 03 Oct 2009 To Tue, 20 Oct 2009 Koel Gallery in collaboration with Grey Noise presents "In The Beginning There Was The Word" by Ayesha Jatoi and Amna Hashmi at Koel Gallery on 3rd October at 5 pm.Exhibition continues till 20th October. http://www.danka.com.pk/viewEvent.php?id=7922Date: Mon, 05 Oct 2009 To Thu, 15 Oct 2009 Rohtas Gallery is having an exhibition of contemporary miniature paintings titled ‘Miniature Revolution’ by two young graduates of Hunerkada College of Visual and Performing Arts.The exhibition will stay open till October 15.

Together the artists in this exhibition uncover the potential of quotidian experience and the material stuff of the world as mutable, un-tethered reservoirs of possibility and in the process turns ordinary moments into celebrations of hidden meaning, wondrous encounters, and poetic meaning.For more info: http://www.spencerart.ku.edu/exhibitions/extraordinary.shtml http://www.danka.com.pk/viewEvent.php?id=8008Date: Sat, 24 Oct 2009 To Sat, 14 Nov 2009 Kashikari curated by Habib Fida Ali.The glazed tile tradition of the sufi mystics of Central Asia.

This exhibition is by Haleem Khan; his work carries the ruggedness of the Baluch terrain. However he does not portray the visible and tangible reality of the mountains of his land but deals with deeper reality which torments his inner being.” http://www.danka.com.pk/viewEvent.php?id=8081Date: Mon, 02 Nov 2009 To Fri, 06 Nov 2009 Sustainable development, why? The Earth, our planet, is sick...and it is our fault. The inhabitants of the rich countries like France consume and waste atremendous amount of goods. Consuming more and more is looting more and morethe natural resources which took the planet millions of years to create(air, water, oceans, forests, cultivable lands, biodiversity, oil) and whichare not renewed fast enough to meet with the growing need...and rejectingmore and more pollution and waste in the environment which is gettingsaturated. We do not have a spare planet. Thus how to improve the living conditions ofeach citizen around the world without exhausting the Earth definitively? Howto meet the needs of nowadays men while handing down a planet in goodcondition to the future generations? By learning how to save and equitably share the resources, by usingtechnologies which pollute less, which waste less water and energy, andabove all by changing our consuming habits and our behaviors. This issustainable development: not consuming less, but in a better way. 2 to 6 November at AFKOpening on 2 November at 6:30http://www.danka.com.pk/viewEvent.php?id=8156Date: Fri, 06 Nov 2009 To Mon, 16 Nov 2009 by Noor Jehan BilgaramiHouse No 57-B, Street NO 26, Sector F-6/2, Islamabad http://www.danka.com.pk/viewEvent.php?id=8182Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2009 To Wed, 25 Nov 2009 A group show of contemporary miniature paintings by Seven Artists will open at Art Scene Gallery on 10 November.

But is it simply enough to credit our eyes with our vision. In fact, looking and seeing are not as simple as they sound. When we look at something, we make sense of it through an extended web of circumstances that affects our vision. All of us do not see in the same exact way because of our different experiences. And even the scientific process of visual perception itself is considered to be an act of interpretation. Our eyes interpret the information attained through coming into contact with visible light. “Good looking” presents artworks that play with our vision in order to help us understand how we recognize the world around us. The works in this exhibition consider how people see and do not see, both literally and metaphorically. By pointing out the complexity of perception, the artists tell viewers that they have to be mindful of this fact. They need to appreciate that their ways of seeing are shaped by the environment and conditions from which they emerge.ARTISTS INCLUDEVANDANA JAINFAWAD KHANHASNAT MEHMOODYAMINI NAYARSRESHTA RIT PREMNATHSA'DIA REHMANLALA RUKHMAHBUB SHAHIn association with GALLERY SKE, Bangalore, India&Thomas Erben Gallery, NY.Curated by Atteqa AliText by Atteqa Alihttp://www.danka.com.pk/viewEvent.php?id=8384Date: Tue, 08 Dec 2009 To Fri, 18 Dec 2009 From the 8th of December till the 18th, the Chawkandi Art Gallery in Clifton will be hosting an Art Exhibition which will display the works of Samina Mansuri who is an interdisciplinary artist based in Toronto, Canada since 2001.

I’m exploring only this specific humane dimension of space. A space that tells a story, suggests the presence of someone or something. A space that is nostalgic, that something happened there. If it is water then, then that water has a story. In old times people used to say “Do not disturbe the water” implying that water had hidden creatures, hidden life that could be provoked. They considered water as space. If it is a room then that room has a story. Personal space transforms its meaning when it is viewed up-close. Space that is created by composing two banal objects in a specific light. The quality which is attached to the space because of either a sense of human presence or the archeology of it; i.e. the time elapsed since its creation or because of the light that illuminates it is the main idea of the show.

For an artist working in Pakistan, the added current sociopolitical unrest forces the question of art's ability to respond to these external conditions.Involved with women's rights from the '70s onwards, or, most recently, with the lawyers' movement, Lala Rukh resolves these tensions in her art through a politically informed formalism. Her works on display, for example, contain two newsprint images of equal size, both pasted side by side on graph paper. One depicts the Babri Mosque, which was destroyed in 1992 by Indian fundamentalists; the other shows a Hindu temple in Pakistan torn down in an act of reciprocal violence. Using a stark formal language of cancellation, Rukh blackened the images as if to sublimate the pain of these events.Similarly, formal interventions to distill various concerns are being used by most of the artists in this exhibition. Murad Khan Mumtaz sublimates images of explosions, some executed on one dollar bills, through their execution in the miniature tradition, whereasNoor Ali Chagani extends the same into sculptural form with his deteriorated, slogan studded brick walls. Deconstructed into it's various constituents - wasli paper, spatial configurations and painterly techniques - Ayesha Jatoi reinvests miniature painting through a more minimalist and analytical sensibility.Nadia Khawaja, who works in a variety of media, approaches art making from an intimate and meditative position, while Amna Hashmi draws her consciously "silly" parallel worlds in a position of geographical and cultural distance to their manga and anime references. From a feminist perspective, Ismet Khawaja addresses the viewer in her video "Look at me when I talk to you" with insistent urgency, whereas Seema Nusrat implies content through the use of men's belts to construct her bodily sculpture.All of the works included allow for a multitude of readings while individual emphasis varies from one artist to the other, ranging from feminist to more overt political or formal concerns and in some cases eschewing them altogether.

M. Art gallery, Karachi Artist Talk:  4:45pm-6pm | Reception: 6pm-8:30pm Exhibition will continue until Friday, February 26, 2010 For information please call (21) 3494 8088 or Email: vmart.gallery@gmail.com   About the Exhibition Where All the Butterflies Go is a resting point in an artist journey, which started forty years ago in Scotland. It is a modest drawing survey of Michael Esson, a world- renowned Scottish born Australian artist and scholar. For him, drawing starts from a dot, a point of a question mark that leads to infinite connections, resolutions and drawn pathways. Along such paths, he constantly draws, erases and redraws ideas ‘without the burden of aesthetics.’ Michael is considered as a master of drawing bodies inside out, both literally and metaphorically. His interest in cultural identity has led him to explore different cultures and traditions that influences upon his work by finding visual resonance, which he weaves into his own personal graphic narratives. His most recent work continues to explore the human condition, where his imagination is rich with personal symbols and metaphors. In this exhibition, the works range from exquisite drawings, including self-portraits, and prints that simultaneously evoke a feeling of wonder and grotesque to objects and installations that speak to its creators mind and spirit. The resulted exposé is an oeuvre of Michael Esson’s art practice that is simultaneously analytical and poetic dealing with the representation of the body and its metamorphosis within and beyond the boundaries of living and dead. The exhibition is co-curated by Abdullah M. I. Syed and Roohi Ahmed.   About the Artist Michael Esson was born in Scotland in 1950 and studied at Gray’s School of Art, Aberdeen, Edinburgh College of Art and the Royal College of Art, London. He is the Director of the International Drawing Research Institute, the College of Fine Arts, the University of New South Wales, Professor of Drawing at Lincoln University, UK, and a Visiting Professor of Drawing at the Glasgow School of Art, Scotland, the Xian Academy of Fine Art, China, Dong Hua University, Shanghai, and Lu Xun Academy, China. In 1993-94, he was the first artist in residence at the Royal College of Surgeons, Edinburgh.   http://www.danka.com.pk/viewEvent.php?id=8994Date: Tue, 16 Feb 2010 To Fri, 12 Mar 2010 Goethe-Institut Pakistan presents Ajmal Hussain “Retrospective and new paintings” Ajmal Husain (also known as “The Man of Many Arts”) was the first Pakistani artist to show his work in Germany in 1952. Since then over 100 of his exhibitions were shown all around the world. His latest series of painting is described as “Fusion”. In this series he has used seven different mediums. The composition of the paintings is a mixture of geometric forms, abstract symbolism dominated by figurative forms. At the age of 80, Ajmal Hussain maintains the spirit of the classical easel painting in its truest form and practices it with conviction. This is his first solo exhibition in Pakistan after 1986.

The women, moved away from their age and the time they were physically fit, try to combat their physicality and appearance. There is an absurdity in the very act of trying to put themselves under slots of ‘HOT’, ‘SEXY’, ‘DESIRABLE’. Most fail. Some succeed. The body of drawings presents women who are comfortable with what they are, some are very carefully hiding through fashion rules while most stand at a cross point of innocence, desire and failed attempts.Born 1984 in Patna, India.

The exhibition was taking its time in the imagination so I kept on delaying the project till I couldn't do more as the date of the show was approaching. I thought a lot about it - what I really wanted to do for this show. Shall I just look at artists who make objects or should it be an exhibition of those I find exciting. I stayed with the later idea. This show certainly does not include all what is interesting as there is so much that intrigues, but few of my favourite artists, whose work provides me something to think about from it's formal to conceptual aspects, are selected. Initially I thought that the exhibition has to be politically correct and must have a gender balance but the final list is completely politically incorrect and includes work of eight women artists only……….but I say to myself so what!.‘Being There’  shows work which negotiates between being an object or remaining flat; which instigates a thought process and then appears very direct; and which questions and provokes discussions about art and life, since two can not be separated.Curated by Adeela Suleman http://www.danka.com.pk/viewEvent.php?id=8503Date: Fri, 05 Mar 2010 To Sat, 13 Mar 2010 An exhibition of works by Anila Agha Qayyum will open at Rohtas Gallry on 05th Mar'10.The exhibition continues till 13th Mar'10. http://www.danka.com.pk/viewEvent.php?id=8959Date: Fri, 05 Mar 2010 To Sat, 10 Apr 2010  Tasneem Inam(NCA) invites you on exhibition at her studio.  You can have traditional calligraphies, calligraph paintings(framed and unframed) and much much more.Only for families.Askari 10.tasneeminam@hotmail.com03336560941http://www.danka.com.pk/viewEvent.php?id=8960Date: Fri, 05 Mar 2010 To Sat, 20 Mar 2010  Tasneem Inam(NCA) invites u on exhibition at her studio.

In my present work, all the historical images revolve around the images of a local traitor who was loyal to the English as he bartered away his land. The drawings are based on archival photographs of British colonialism in Sindh and are exaggerated by intuitive understanding.Ahmed Ali Manganharhttp://www.danka.com.pk/viewEvent.php?id=9126Date: Thu, 18 Mar 2010 To Wed, 31 Mar 2010 VM Art Gallery cordially invites you to the inauguration of Retrospective and book launch of   RABIA ZUBERI Thursday, March 18, 2010 at 5:00 pm PROGRAMME: ·         Opening Remarks - Riffat Alvi                   5:00 pm ·         Introduction of the Retrospective -        Marjorie Hussain                                       5:15 pm ·         Ode to Rabia Zuberi -        Naheed Raza / Meher Afroz                      5:30 pm ·         Rabia Zuberi                                              5:45 pm ·         Film showing on Rabia Zuberi                     6:00 pm ·         Opening of the show                                    6:15 pm   The Retrospective will continue until March 31, 2010, daily from 10:30 am to 7:30 pm (Sundays closed)http://www.danka.com.pk/viewEvent.php?id=8993Date: Fri, 19 Mar 2010 To Wed, 31 Mar 2010 An exhibition of paintings by ‘Fahim Hamid Ali’ titled ‘REFLECTIONS’ opening on Friday March 19, 2010 and will continue until Wednesday March 31, 2010 http://www.danka.com.pk/viewEvent.php?id=9124Date: Fri, 19 Mar 2010 To Sat, 03 Apr 2010 Opening reception of Solo Show           "SOUND OF COLORS " by Mohammad Ali Bhatti On Friday 19th March, 2010.

Hutcheson will exhibit his works at the Zahoor ul Akhlaq Gallery at the National College of Arts (NCA) on 8 April 2010 which would also entail the launch of his book entitled Ganda Nala.Hutcheson combines the elements of Ruh Khitch with digital media for his photography – a unique 20th century technique which means Spirit Pulling in English that is rarely used today. Hutcheson captures the lives of minority communities affected by their ghastly environments in his powerful images with finesse. The individuals Malcolm manages to photograph are never exploited to make a point, but exist in an almost timeless moment, challenging the viewer with their presence. And yet there is something tremendously personal them.    http://www.danka.com.pk/viewEvent.php?id=9218Date: Thu, 08 Apr 2010 To Thu, 08 Apr 2010 Punjab’s under-privileged communities are constantly facing health hazards due to the deteriorating environmental and social conditions and lack of well-planned initiatives.  The British contemporary photographer Malcolm Hutcheson, working in Lahore since 1990, has been subtly pointing out these harsh realities through his images that prompt the observer to develop a better understanding of the world around us.

The first exhibition was held in 1995 at the V M Art Gallery, entitled Seasons of Kunwinjku. Aboriginal Dreams showcases paintings and prints by emerging and established aboriginal artists from Papunya Tjupi, a community art centre in the remote Northern Territory settlement of Papunya, in the Western Desert region of Central Australia. Despite the fact that Aboriginal art predates modern definitions of art, many Aboriginal artists have now adapted their visual culture to communicate in the language of contemporary art. Although a diversity among the art practice of Papunya artists is evident, the creation of such works can be weaved under the notion of ‘dream’, for Indigenous Aboriginals, "The Dreaming" was the time of creation. Aboriginal Dreams maps such dreams where the land, water, bush, visible and invisible are expressed through mythological, conceptual and personal stories and recorded in a form of a visual journey. The intricate designs, landforms, signs, symbols, dots and marks are applied and painted through various techniques, ranging from exquisite acrylic dot paintings on linen and canvas to etchings and linocuts. Some are in collaboration with Cicada Press, COFA, UNSW.   http://www.danka.com.pk/viewEvent.php?id=9249Date: Thu, 08 Apr 2010 To Sat, 19 Jun 2010 'Pakistan Through a Lens' will present Pakistan's rich cultural heritage and its breathtaking landscapes.

If the first signs of the use of ceramics during Paleolithic are mostly artistic, its use was essentially functional during Neolithic. Its use as an artistic expression has been evolving in the course of centuries and shows the art of living of many civilizations.

Pakistan Rising believes in Pakistan, and in the strength of the unity of our nation. We have faith that together we can build Pakistan into the nation Jinnah and Iqbal envisioned. We need to move forward, hand in hand, and create a new tomorrow. Pakistanis need to feel “Pakistani” and not Punjabi, Pakhtun, Balochi, Sindhi, Mohajir. Pakistan Rising aims to create a sense of unity in the country, and make people see themselves first as Pakistanis. The one thing we all agree on is that we are passionate about Pakistan. There is great power in this passion and it can make anything possible. Through the work that we are doing we hope to create within people a sense of pride for their country, and make people come together to help bring this country on to the path of development and progress.Pakistan Rising is a not for profit organization set up in 2009. One of our aims is to assist our fellow citizens who are suffering in poverty so that they can stand on their own feet, and become productive members of society. We are undertaking a variety of projects to make this happen. Our first “Community Empowerment Centre” will be in Shamilat Killay Village outside of Mardan. Pakistan Rising is leasing a building which during the day will be utilised as a school, and then in the afternoon/evening will become an adult education centre giving instruction in a range of activities including literacy, both Urdu and English, as well as various vocational courses. We plan to set up such projects in other places as well like Swat, Buner, Waziristan etc.In addition, Pakistan Rising has also been actively involved in the relief efforts for those Pakistanis who have been displaced due to the military offensive against militants. We assisted over 5000 internally displaced persons (IDPs) who were living with host families/communities, providing them with essential items like food, water, clothing etc.As part of our fundraising activities, Pakistan Rising has produced its 2010-2011 Wall Calendar which features 12 beautiful black and white photographs by renowned Pakistani photographer, Tapu Javeri from his latest book “Shades of Green”. The price of each calendar is Rs.1000. All proceeds from the sale of these calendars will go towards the building of our “Community Empowerment Centre”."http://www.danka.com.pk/viewEvent.php?id=9255Date: Mon, 12 Apr 2010 To Fri, 30 Apr 2010 6th Annual Exhibition By Young Artists, 2010 at Alhamra Art Gallery, The Mall, Lahore.Opening 4:30http://www.danka.com.pk/viewEvent.php?id=9239Date: Tue, 13 Apr 2010 To Tue, 27 Apr 2010 Come join us at KSA Gallery as Aimen Kazmi Durab Tariq Fariha Saeed Madiha Bano Salman HassanSaman AliSidrah ArshadSivim NaqviSyed Mohammad Raza Uroosa Ishtiaq come together to explore the contradictions behind our facades of normalcy.Opening ReceptionTuesday, April 13, 20105.30-8 pmExhibition will continue until April 27, 2010KSA GalleryGallery Timings: 10.30am – 6.00pm, Sundays closed.Address: ST-2B, Block 17, Gulshan-e-Iqbal, KarachiTel: +9221 34984167 | Email: ksagallery@gmail.comhttp://www.danka.com.pk/viewEvent.php?id=9257Date: Wed, 14 Apr 2010 To Wed, 21 Apr 2010 The University of Gujrat is holding the Thesis Exhibition of Master of Fine Arts (MFA) students and other students of product design, textile design & home furnishing, ceramics, graphic designing and 3D Animation and wood working from April 14, 2010 to April 21, 2010 at Lahore City Heritage Museum formerly Tolinton Market. Minister for Information and Broadcasting, Mr. Qamar Zaman Kaira has kindly consented to be the Chief Guest and inaugurate the Exhibition on April 14. Exhibition Inauguration Time: 2:30: pmDate: April 14, 2010Venue: Lahore City Heritage Museum, Tolinton Market, Mall Road, Lahore.http://www.danka.com.pk/viewEvent.php?id=7619Date: Thu, 15 Apr 2010 To Sun, 25 Apr 2010 A solo show by Meher Afroz will open at IVS Gallery on 15 April 2010.Curator: Usman GhouriExhibition will end on 25 April 2010. http://www.danka.com.pk/viewEvent.php?id=9145Date: Thu, 15 Apr 2010 To Sat, 17 Apr 2010 POWER-GEN International is the largest and most trusted power event in the industry.

It is fascinating how his modern artwork enlivens the vernacular tradition without staying traditional. With the help of his glazes, the artist succeeded in gaining an unmistakable glimpse into the essence of nature. Salman has in his grip the threads of years of silk weaving that he has woven into shimmering brocade of crystals. The resulting work is profoundly poetic and meditative. His glazing techniques and his control of kiln temperatures enable the growth process of the glaze to intensify and to further develop under fire — a continuous rhythm of growth and blossoming, a manifestation of living nature is thus steered by its creator who is able to bring to life a lifeless object and instill it with boundless beauty and harmony.

Issues of memory and forgetting, collective history and identity reverberate in the eleven new paintings that are on view here. In these faintly rendered landscapes, fields of billowing white and orange clouds are set against smoky blue skies. Steeped in Romanticism, Cleary is keenly aware of Romanticism’s promise of transcendence, the prospect of which lends a loving, gestural hand to his sensuous cloudscapes. Cleary creates an engaging perceptual play that continually shifts our attention between centers and borders. Billed as a landscape painter, the work here nearly eliminates the ‘scape’ in the term, compressing foreground and background into a shallow depth of field. This is most evident in Wander Below (Pointing At The Sky), in which the snow sits on the picture plane. This compact space, along with the commonplace subject matter, sets Tim Cleary’s work apart from the Hudson River School-inspired tradition that dominates much popular western landscape painting today. The absence of rugged mountains and blazing sunsets, however, does not preclude spiritual aspirations. The seemingly ‘small events’ that he paints magically become the sublime. These ‘small events’ are momentary permutations of colour and form generally caused by shifts in light and perspective. Cleary’s dexterous handling of the paint adds to the ephemerality. Some pieces, such as The Way Back (Sundials) appear photorealistic from a distance but, upon closer scrutiny, dissolve into almost impressionistic brushstrokes. Whether Cleary’s work conveys the sublime in the way we normally conceive of it depends on the viewer’s predisposition. Interestingly, however, when used as a verb, sublime means the conversion of a solid substance directly into a gas. These paintings, with their airy brushwork, nuanced subject matter and multiple perspectives, fit neatly with this definition, amounting to a refreshing take on the trope of the western landscape.

Critical discourse surrounding contemporary miniature had thus far focused on Lahore, the city where it began, and the South Asian diaspora in America, where the contemporary miniature first received acclaim.  There had yet to be an exhibition which evaluated miniature practice in Karachi independent of the global/glocal trend, where the practice has flourished for almost ten years now.  This show was curated to probe the possibility of there being a regional particularity to contemporary miniature production of the kind that existed between the historical ateliers at Herat and Tabriz.The participating artists include Sumaira Tazeen and Mahreen Zuberi, who teach and formulate miniature curricula at the Indus Valley School of Art and Architecture and Karachi University, and their protégés, Malika Abbas, Hina Farooqui, Madiha Suboor, Fariha Nadir, Nosheen Iqbal and Raheela Abro.  For further details contact: Poppy Seed, First Floor, Shafi Courts, Merewether Road, Karachi+21.3569.3808poppyseed.gallery@gmail.com  http://www.danka.com.pk/viewEvent.php?id=9372Date: Wed, 05 May 2010 To Sat, 29 May 2010 IVS Gallery cordially invites you to'2 Perosn Show of NOOR YOUSOF & SYED HASSAN MUJTABA'at IVS GalleryOpening; Wednesday May 05, 2010 from 5 - 8pm  Show will continue till May 29, 2010Hope to see you all.     AnbrinGallery ManagerIndus Valley School of Art and ArchitectureST-33, Block 2, Scheme 5, Clifton, Karachi-75600, PakistanTel: 5861039-40, 5838018-19, UAN: 111-111-487Fax: 92-21-5861048E-Mail : anbrin.naz@indusvalley.edu.pkhttp://www.danka.com.pk/viewEvent.php?id=9402Date: Wed, 05 May 2010 To Wed, 05 May 2010 Pakistan National Council of the Arts, Shakir Ali Museum, Lahore, is holding an Exhibition titled “A Soft Image of Pakistan, A Story” by Mr. Usman  Malik, a young talented artist, graduated from the National College of Arts and doing his Masters program in England.He is a master of diversified forms in art and aesthetics, giving meaning to the art movement in Pakistan a whole new spectrum.

She drew on everything she could get her hands on, from cardboard boxes to her school uniforms and frocks. Her first watercolor painting was a beaver which was displayed in an art exhibition at the Convent of Jesus & Mary in Murree. Samina is incredibly inquisitive … light, movement, and the unusual in nature urge her to explore and express herself. Samina paints women because she believes women have multiple dimensions. She says, “for me to draw and paint women is to explore their strengths, creatively”. Samina loves laughing, dancing, and asking questions! “Samina Raza is an exceptionally skilled artist. Her paintings, mostly water colour and mixed media represent life, dreams, stories, fantasies and realities. The colours are extremely fresh and almost alive, the drawings so detailed and resolved. Samina’s work truly represents her great history and her eclectic choices”.
