  • Showcase for Pakistani
    http://archive.gulfnews.com/supplements/pakistan/more_stories/10027366.html Showcase for Pakistani art By Saima Tariq Khan, Gulf News Report Published: March 22, 2006, 00:00 The Mohatta Palace Museum in Karachi has hosted some of the finest art exhibitions. Cities are like people - each with its own character and idiosyncrasies. The port city of Karachi is like a youngster bursting with energy and life, with mood swings tempered by the ocean that washes its shores. Wild and passionate, grey and foaming or calm turquoise glass, the ocean defines the city's outer limit, while culture and history defines its centre - embodied in one of the city's major attractions, the Mohatta Palace. The founder of the nation Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah, upon his death, left most of his assets to the government. He did, however, leave one of the residences to his younger sister Fatima Jinnah. Her twilight years were spent in this palatial red brick building. After her death, the mansion fell into disarray until a few philanthropists restored it to its present glory. The Mohatta Palace could have become just another museum. Instead, it is now a spectacular venue for some of the country's most interesting exhibitions. A craftsman's dedication to his work is always reflected in his creations. This is certainly true with the Mohatta Palace Museum. Surrounded by large lawns, the contrast of red brick and green plants is refreshing. The building has large halls and rooms and a gallery upstairs. Many famous personalities have visited the museum, including the popular Indian writer Arundhati Roy.

  • Queer Masculinities and Spaces of Intimacy in the Work of Anwar Saeed
    Queer Masculinities and Spaces of Intimacy in the Work of Anwar Saeed Noor Alainah Asif A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Art University of Washington 2019 Committee: Sonal Khullar Adair Rounthwaite Christian Novetzke Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Art History ©Copyright 2019 Noor Alainah Asif University of Washington Abstract Queer Masculinities and Spaces of Intimacy in the Work of Anwar Saeed Noor Alainah Asif Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Sonal Khullar Department of Art History The bodies of same-sex loving men and women have been subject to state-sponsored oppression, censorship, and brutalities since Pakistan’s inception. These violences have been increasingly aggravated since the 1980s. This paper examines the work of contemporary Pakistani artist Anwar Saeed. In his paintings, Saeed interrogates conflictual intersections between sexuality, religion, love, violence, and the nation-state through representations of queer male bodies. By way of his references to sexuality and queerness, Saeed forges artistic intimacies between his practice, other Pakistani artists, and local religious and cultural histories. This paper suggests that Saeed's practice, then, works within the parameters of the Pakistani nation-state as a means of working against it. This is to say that Saeed’s work has developed through the subversive concept of disidentification, as informed by queer theorist José Esteban Muñoz. Keeping in mind the theory’s US based context, this paper seeks to consider disidentifications in the context of Saeed's practice; an analysis of this kind can possibly create an opening for a cross-border analysis of the effects of power on gender, sexuality, and queerness that departs from generalizing, Eurocentric accounts of inequality, patriarchy, and oppression.

  • Press Release Gallery
    Pontone PRESS RELEASE GALLERY Jamil Naqsh and the eternal feminine 28 July – 27 August 2017 Opening reception Thursday 27 July | 6–8 pm Jamil Naqsh’s new series of images reaffirms his reputation as a master draughtsman, with a sidelong glance at established Western traditions to which he both does and doesn’t belong. What he now offers are close-up portraits of beautiful young women, of a type familiar from the romantic dream world of classic Mughal miniature painting, but enlarged to life- size, or maybe a little beyond that and presented in warm sepia monochrome. The immediate impression one gets is that these are works on paper, subtly aged. It suggests a relationship with the drawings that have come down to us from the great masters of the Italian Renaissance – precarious survivors whose presence before us both emphasizes and denies their air of fragility. Yet this is an illusion. These are in fact works made in oil on canvas – triumphant examples of trompe l’oeil. By deceiving us, Naqsh emphasises both the essential contemporaneity of the work, and – simultaneously – its organic connection with the great art of the past. Harmony 2017 | Oil on Canvas | 101 x 76 cm (40 x 30 in) The subject matter of the series is deliberately restricted. Beautiful, isolated human creatures are seen accompanied by pigeons, which are traditional signifiers of love in the culture Naqsh comes from. This romantic love, however, is of a particular kind, whose expression is prompted by separation from, not union with, the love object. Sentiments of this sort are also pervasive in ghazal poetry, a literary form that has flourished in Urdu, just as also, somewhat previously, in Persian.

  • Cubism in Pakistan: “An Evolutionary Glance”1
    Sunway Academic Journal Volume 10 1 CUBISM IN PAKISTAN: “AN EVOLUTIONARY GLANCE”1 SHAHNILA MUGHEES Sunway University No. 5 Jalan Universiti, Bandar Sunway, 46150 Petaling Jaya, Selangor Darul Ehsan Tel: +60(3)74918622 Ext. 3541 Fax: +60(3)56358630 Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper reviews the cubist movement and its impact on the young artists in Pakistan. This practice-led research project investigates from an evolutionary perspective, how the Pakistani art scenario started to take a leap forward after the independence. Starting from Abdul Rahman Chughtai, Allah Bux and Sheikh Shujaullah’s conventional style, the modernism of Shakir Ali was soon found dominating the art scene. No wonder Shakir Ali is regarded as the first daring artist, responsible for introducing cubism into Pakistan. This study thus proves that it was cubism, which proved a vital source of art propagation and acted as a pillar for initiating new trends in the art genre of Pakistan. In conclusion, cubism also served as a platform for those artists who were striving to get new vistas for self-expression. INTRODUCTION The 20th century witnessed a rapid series of artistic inventions in its first two decades which arose to mark a difference from the past: “The revolt against all form of naturalism was in full swing, new ideas and methods were put forward in painting, sculpture, architecture, in literature, music, philosophy and science as well and the radical inventions of these years underlie all later developments even today”2. These new artistic experimentations during 1905 to 1916 gave birth to several movements: the fauves, Die Bruke, Der blue Rieter, Futurism, Orphism, Suprematism, Constructivism, Votivism and Dadaism.

(Corresponding Author) Dr. Naela Aamir Associate Professor, College of Art & Design ABSTRACT KEYWORDS: Calligraphy has been an expression of Muslim artistic CALLIGRAPHY, identity since the arrival of Islam.
