Art lovers from twin cities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi took keen interest in an exhibition of miniature paintings started on Wednesday at JharokaArtGallery. Heinrich Boll Shiftung, Pakistan Country Director Britta Petresen inaugurated the event, showcasing 27 masterpieces of art by S.M.Mansoor.
Mansoor’s paintings which focus on “modern uniformity” attracted attention due to their unique color scheme and thematic vividness. Mansoor has used the imagery of the everyday to construct his art in a new light. Mansoor manages to excite curiosity through every piece by eliminating all conventions of traditional miniature paintings.
Dr. Shahida, an art enthusiast at the exhibition, said that Mansoor’s combination of the abstract and the everyday gives a unique touch to these paintings.
The exhibition will continue till April 20.
