RAWALPINDI: Ambassador of Japan to Pakistan, Takashi Kurai flanked by Naheed Manzoor and Rawalpindi Arts Council (RAC) Waqar Ahmed inaugurated a painting exhibition titled Landscapes of Pakistan by Pride of Performance artist Ghulam Mustafa at the RAC on Monday. Ghulam Mustafa’s prime love has been landscape painting. Carving his identity in the genre, he belongs to the distinguished group of landscape painters that flourished in Lahore. Ghulam Mustafa is also the former executive director of the Punjab Arts Council and is acknowledged for his spontaneity and expertise in lifting whatever arrests his attention. His works of the old Lahore city vividly capture shifting light and shadows, the textures and patina left on alley walls by the passage of time and the hubbub of streets and the ding of everyday life.
