KARACHI: Mystical mosaic paintings exhibition of artist AQ Arif are being displayed at Artciti Gallery in Karachi.
It is a must-see for all art lovers, especially for those interested in viewing work of AQ Arif, the paintings leave a lasting impression. To some they appear to be a déjà vu while others would find it an absorbing experience.
In the work of A Q the relationship between form and the intermediate space endows his work with lyrical expression. The dreamy, beautiful landscapes half imagined and half real almost echo the appearance of a mirage. The architectural elements in his work include domes and tall buildings that appear to speak of history while shimmering as reflected images in wide pools of water.
With numerous solo exhibitions to his credit in Pakistan and countries east and west, his work has been acclaimed internationally. In his art Arif appears to invite the viewer to a world of landscape touched by fantasy and unspoiled by human habitation. His mastery of the media creates scenes of beauty that appear to draw the viewer into their midst.
The exhibition is scheduled to run for a week at ARTCITI and will conclude today (Saturday).
