It happens because of the spiritual aspect involved in the art. Text becomes an image that conjures up soul-searching scenes. This could be gauged at an exhibition […]

KARACHI: The title of an exhibition of Samina Mansuri’s artworks, which opened at the Koel Art Gallery on Tuesday, is Shell[Skin].

KARACHI: Farrukh Shahab is a perturbed soul. He is an artist to his fingertips, yes, but what drives his art is agitation. This agitation is caused by both external and internal kinds of commotion. The former is to do with society and the latter with self. As a result, what you see are some fine, […]
KARACHI: It is always refreshing to see an artist discussing history and art and giving preference to the latter by hardly overshadowing the former.
