Louvre will display ‘Bahtay Rang’ – an exhibition of a unique art that is all about controlling flow of extremely diluted colours on canvas from November 12 to 19, featuring exquisite art of Khusro Sabzwari and Ali Karimi. Sabzwari – a seasoned artist with over 35 years of experience, recreates the beauty of nature in abstracts with deep vibrant colours in thin acrylics, while young talented NCA graduate Karimi develops figures with a challenging technique wash in oils. About his art, Sabzwari says “I am an engineer by profession but an artist at heart whereas the extraordinary gift of clairvoyance runs in my blood.”
Sabzwari recreates the beauty of nature and of life in his breath-taking paintings, rendering a personal touch to his works. Deep vibrant colours pervade his canvas and infuse into each other to give a fascinating output. According to Karimi, “The romance in life is always the best memory but when we visualise the memories they always seems watery, that’s what I try to paint.” Karimi is a category of contemporary on his own; figures developed through wash paints of oil medium. He dilutes a single oil color to almost a consistency of water and using such a difficult medium to control he not only to develop figures through these drops of colours but faces and expression as well. Featuring Bahtay Rang are his paintings of women in different postures.
