“For Art Sake” has held exhibitions in Pakistan, UK, and Tanzania. The exhibition at KIU is one leg of a traveling show that started its journey in Lahore, moved to Islamabad, and is now in Gilgit. After this the exhibition will move to universities in southern Punjab.
This exhibition celebrates our Independence Day by eye catching paintings of the Quaid done by an excellent artist Ali Azmat. Moving from one frame to the next, the viewer is galvanized by the powerful look of our benefactor. A kaleidoscope of expressions can be seen in the paintings, covering the entire spectrum from happiness, euphoria, sadness, despondency, and hope.
Looking at these paintings one can see the vision our founder had for Pakistan. The exhibition is curated by Managing Director Ms. Amna I. Pataudi and Dr. Rahat Naveed Masud.—INP
