ISLAMABAD (APP) - A month-long summer art show by 4 artists with a collection of 26 works was put on display by Nomad Art Gallery here Saturday.
The show will continue till July 27th featuring diverse ideas of artistic talents including Ufaq Ehsan, Samina Jamshed, Mughees Riaz and Anjum Ayub.Mughees Riaz works with the medium of oil on canvas to explore nature through the genre of landscapes, creating aesthetically beautiful works of art motivated by his relationship with his surroundings.
The viewers can find boats on the banks of river, comfortably inducted buffaloes and birds as an attribute of ‘hope’ personified in several cultures.
These paintings reveal a painter who continues to strengthen his technique and skill in the application of colour and his engagement with form.
Among the collection of his artworks, Mughees has painted a series “Sunset” in which his huge size canvases present an eye-catching view of the dreamy landscape carrying water, trees, crow and a few serene effects. The effect of water in his paintings predominates with a changing tempo. Other works are titled as “Tree”, “Sleeping Dog”, “Seated Buffalo” and “Boat in Mist” etc. “My work is simple reflection of my inspiration, as I always wanted to amalgamate nature with my inner feelings. Fascinated by nature, I always derive immense satisfaction and please while capturing the wideness of sky, tranquillity of rovers and peace and serenity of the field,” the artist said while commenting on his work.
“Buffaloes cows, brownfield, pink sky, specially “sunset” always compels me to paint and express my love for nature and I pour my passion into these subject,” he added. Mughees has presented landscape paintings like sensitive works as he used the medium for dreamy impacts and managed to hold fleeting movements captured by a stroke in the flame of time, said Nageen Hyat, Director NAG.
