Royaat Gallery’s spring show—A Nature’s Palette—will be inaugurated today at 5pm. This show celebrates the colors of spring, featuring paintings by Ms. Shehla Farooq. These paintings draw from the realist school and beautifully capture the interplay of light and color amidst the scenery of the Punjab. The show is organised into two principal themes: landscapes and scenes from inner city Lahore. These paintings, both sumptuous and delicate, capture wonderful movement through defined brush strokes. The landscapes depict the misty, wind-swept plains that are transformed by nature’s first green. Ms Farooq has been painting traditional landscapes for the past three decades. In her more recent work, she has focused on cityscapes, moving towards mineralization by incorporating pigeons.
