The art of painting and calligraphy both gives message of peace and love. And the artists with the help of their work spread awareness among the masses. The canvas and the colours together provide them a medium to express and create such a work that makes the viewers to ponder upon.
Nowadays with the inauguration of new art galleries in Karachi the art activities has taken a fast pace in the city and the future of art seems bright. The art galleries act as a bridge between the artists and the art lovers providing a platform for the artists to display their work for art lovers. And Fine Art Pakistan Gallery, Karachi, is an addition in these platforms. Its first exhibition of the artworks by the artists such as Ahmed Khan, Moazzam Ali and Ramzan Shad was nicely arranged.
Ahmed Khan is one of the most famous calligraphers of Pakistan. His calligraphic works has evolved through time. He gained experience through his prolific exploration of not only his original technique but also philosophical insights of peace and harmony. His calligraphy at the exhibition shows the same unique quality. At the same time his work is compositionally very controlled.
His aesthetic sensibility finds expression through the use of bold colours and his free flowing strokes. The symmetry in the compositions is remarkable. He places dark and completely contrasting environment together very comfortably.
The Quranic verses along with the beauty of colour enhanced with the glitter of gold leaf and splendour of silver enrich his calligraphy thus providing visual pleasure. Each line seems to be meticulously thought out and skillfully placed. Nothing in his work seems like a random scribbling.
On the other hand Moazzam Ali documenting cultural and historical aspects of Thari women’s life, on large scale canvases. As centuries old heritage of Indus civilisation still the same as ever ignorant of the outer world.
The bangles covered hands and unique features of Thari women with attractive colourful dresses seem to appeals him a lot. He captured the moments of joy, sorrows, astonishment, confusion and dreams of Thari women in his canvases. He turns his canvas into a colourful composition based on his observations and concepts. The creative impulse inside him made him to express his feelings in terms of drawings and paintings.
The village damsels from Thar are his main focus, a symbol which he portrays to explain life journey of centuries old people through time immemorial.
His paintings depicts Thari woman with a ‘Matka’ (pitcher), as we know water is the basic unit of life and considered a treasure in a desert, therefore when you visit Thar you can often see groups of Thari women going to fetch water. Thus he tried to link past with the present as the present is not different from the past - same old traditions are part of Thari people life.


Moazzam’s gestural strokes compose delightful textures with flesh and fabric to capture the inner essence of the female figure draped in beautiful flowing garments of sharp tones look like flowers blooming in a desert full of sand and hot winds.

Ramazan Shad’s balanced palette with various hues of fine colours shows what the nature wants to say. His strong movement of brush and bold strokes creates a symphony and rhythm between the subject and the background creating serenity, silence and stillness in the paintings.

His concept of beauty results in the manifestation of his art pieces. Each work seems to be so realistic that the viewer could not help praising it. The combination of high tone colours and powerful sketches of boats in a unique style harbouring at seashore is outstanding and soft colour splashes makes the compositions more vibrant.

The viewer can visualize these places and can sense and feel the ambience like cool breeze and greenery and of course the smell of sea. He portrays landscapes and seascapes through a vivid imagery which communicate with others.

Filling his palette through the inspirations taken from nature Ramazan uses coloured spots at different places in his works to create a movement in the canvas. He paints the dwellings of mountainous region with emotions and fervor and produces fresh and unique compositions which are skillfully created.

This new art gallery is the venue of valuable artworks by renowned artist. The gallery aims to work for the promotion and projection of the art in the city. I hope that its efforts will help find new talent and promote actual basis of arts and creativity in Islamic calligraphy and contemporary art as well.
