Group show portrays wild life, landscapes
Staff Reporter
Islamabad—A group show featuring landscapes and images of wild life
was opened here Friday at Tanzara Art Gallery with a display of 39
paintings.
Three artistes, Raja Najm-ul-Hassan, Atiquah Abbasi and Samina
Jamshed came up with some eye-catching images of the various parts
of Pakistan, which underlined the fact that all three of them had a
strong obsession for the local landscape. Another highlight of the
exhibition were the paintings of leopards and lions, which were also
appreciated by the viewers.
Raja Najm-ul-Hassan, the artist from Chakwal, demonstrated through
his landscapes his immense attachment with his native town. Mustard
colour figured prominently in his works; as many of his works
centred round the mustard flowers in their full splendour.
One of his works narrated the story of his journey to the Gawadar
city, where he was fascinated by the sand of the beach and the sea
waves merging with it to form the beautiful combination of colours.
Based in Dubai, these days, the artist found a striking similarity
between the beaches of Dubai and Gawadar. This he communicated
through his art works. His works reflected the tranquility of
nature.
Samina Jamshed, the young artist, displayed innovation in the use of
her techniques. Influenced by her art mentor, Raja Changez Sultan,
the artist has made the name for herself in drawing the landscapes,
and her art works gave the feeling of vigour and energy.
