This exhibition explores the dynamic tension between abstraction and representation, a dichotomy that has been a cornerstone of artistic practice for over a century.
Through their unique styles and techniques, these three artists delve into the complexities of perception, imagination and knowledge. From Naqsh Raj’s vibrant, grid-based compositions to Zahra Jewanjee’s intricate, circular forms and Tahir Ali’s bold, gestural abstractions, each artist activates both the sensual and the cerebral, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in their distinct visual worlds. The opening ceremony of the exhibition was attended by art lovers and officials who admired the creative works of all the three artists.
The exhibition will remain open until August 10 for the art enthusiast to visit.
