A month-long solo show of vibrant paintings by globally recognised artist of Pakistan, Ahmad Zoay and a group show featuring works of other artists concluded here Monday at Louvre Gallery. Both exhibitions brought vibrant paintings portraying the mastery and ideology as their themes to provide the art lovers with a treat of exploring the world of colors through art in a large collection. Ahmad Zoay has a unique identity in today’s art set-up as he explored his inner abilities to present art through his journeys to various countries. Viewing his work, one discovers the artist’s palette of primary colors, a link with the past, they reflect memory of his childhood and of his mother; a recollection of the delight found in bright silk she used for embroidery.
Zoay’s works were created with the medium of acrylics on canvas that blend symbolism, abstract and figurative art. The group show included the works of artists like A S Rind, M Hussain and Natalia Kakar depicting myths and charisma of women through abstract figurative art and fantasy portrayal. “I am a Woman”, portrayed A.S.Rind’s works on Faiz’s poetry, M.Hussain’s “Sundar Chehra” and “Myths and Beauty” sketches of Natalia Kakar. All three artists manifested the power of women through heavy metals, myth and rural charisma respectively. A.S. Rind is well-known for employing Faiz Ahmed Faiz’s poetry in his works.
