Group show opens at The Collectors Galleria
THE group show of the recent works of Mansur Rahi, Wahab Jaffer, Sajida Hussain and Farrukh Shahab’s titled ‘Intrusions’ opened at The Collectors Galleria, Cultural Complex, Ferozepur Road on Friday.
The group show is a living testimony of the artistic creations of four top artists of the country with their latest works spanning over around two years. All the paintings have been done in oil.
Mansur Rahi, has a very strong expression in art terms since his lines are quite masculine while colours are more of the soil with a tint of pink here and there. He focuses his work on human form and figure. Mansur has brought eight works to the exhibition for the pleasure of art lovers and general public.
Sajida Hussain’s work seems to have striking resemblance to Rahi’s style as far as the form and the composition of the paintings is concerned. Sajida, however, has used more colours since her palette is more extensive and her main theme is women in various forms and moods. It is a delightful experience to view Sajida’s works which give you a refreshing feeling as well as a food for thought. Sajida has displayed 10 paintings in the Collectors Galleria in this exhibition. Farrukh Shahab’s works are actually a brilliant display of a master’s strokes as well as a glimpse into his intellect. Farrukh’s works are inclined towards abstract while remaining in the realm of realism at the same time. The overall impact of his paintings is spell binding and spectacular. He has brought 13 oil paintings to this group show. Wahab Jaffer, again a prominent and established artist in the Pakistani art circles, has displayed 11 oil paintings in multi-coloured compositions. Wahab seems to love painting the heads. All 11 paintings are a real pleasure to watch with his peculiar oblong faced paintings of the heads with a cuckoo’s nest on some. Wahab’s work is simply mesmerizing. The exhibition will continue till November 12, 2008 at The Collectors Galleria.
