The three young artists - Ali Karimi, Hussain Chandio and Zeeshan Memon have compiled together their inspiration, new ideas and vision of the society regarding our country in an exhibition at Chawkandi Art Gallery, Karachi. They explore relatively new ideas and texture to express their concerns. The exhibition encouraged dialogue between the viewers and the creative young artists through symbolic and figurative art resulting in a creation of exciting interactive artworks.

Brimming with ideas these young artists reveal their ideas through creativity about life and social behaviours from their point of view and create their own metaphors. It was a multi-flavour show decorated with actions, shadows, unusual views and Pakistani cinema.

The exhibition shows a convergent view. Many views coming together from different directions, especially a uniting and merging of tendencies that may originally opposed or very different. The art creation of new talented artists is significant for them to enter the creative fields after having completed their studies.

“Some time the bird eye view from the top of a building or people walking on roads and street with odd angles and positions catch my attention. My work is totally different I have painted unusual views - the angles which we don’t see in our daily life or we just ignore them. I try to create some swirling effects of clothing of moving people. I like to play with texture”, said Hussain Chandio.

Odd angles and unusual views have always inspired Hussain Chandio and his inspiration lead him to the art of painting. The puzzling, funny and queer views raise a deep desire in him to paint those unfamiliar and unknown manifestations.

The main topic of his work is people walking in different spaces such as the spaces on the roads and street which look like as if these spaces are occupied by people walking down the street or on roadside. The field of view and angles of vision make the idea about a person or a situation and that’s what Hussain wants to explain through his oil on canvas paintings.


“Pakistani films and their influences on a society” is the theme of Zeeshan Memon’s work. He endeavours to portray those characters of Pakistani films, which deeply influence our society such as our daily language, culture and reactions. He said that the performing art forms such as film plays key role in establishing the cultural and social face of society. What is today in cinema is to be reflected in the future of the society. Not only the costumes, which are copied by the public but the gestures, actions and dialogues also influence the public.

Zeeshan’s oil on canvas paintings and charcoal and ball point on paper drawings truly depicts the culture and society portrayed by our films and then the adaptation from these films make their way in our everyday life and unknowingly becomes apart of our life. We often gesture and give examples regarding certain character of a film which becomes a point of relation for us when we argue and support our arguments by giving examples of popular films and their characters which we see close to a common person’s life. We taunt and make fun of our friends and relatives who follow certain character in clothing or gestures out of their love for that character and thus enjoy indirectly by our cinema daily.

The shadows stimulate Ali Karimi. He sees art in various actions of the shadows. He tries to understand and ultimately recognise the dark and cool aspects of the personality whose shadow is cast on the floor through his Gouache on Wasli work. As the shadow is always the same gender as the individual. Thus discern the personality and distinguish something that is not very clear or obvious. This kind of knowledge is essential for any kind of self-knowledge also.

“It usually happens where adaptation is weakest and at the same time reveals the reason for its weakness that is a degree of inferiority and the existence of a lower level of personality. It is at this lower level, with its uncontrolled or scarcely controlled emotions that one behaves more or less like a primitive who is more or less a ‘victim’ of these emotions and is practically incapable of moral judgment”, said Ali Karimi.

NA-121 Lahore has been in the grip of the PML-N since 1985, but evolving ground realties in the constituency, including the surfacing of the PTI as a new political force and the re-entry of the Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) into electoral politics, ensures a tough electoral contest on May 11. In the past three elections, the PML-N and the JI coalition has won this seat. But in the upcoming polls, the ri
