ISLAMABAD (APP) - Nomad Art Gallery here Saturday opened a group show of six women artists entitled Personal Narratives with a collection of 25 paintings. The artists including Samreen Asif, Samina Ali, Faiza Khan, Tabassum Rizvi, Sadia Hussain and Nasreen Aurangzeb have portrayed moods and feelings of women in a society with the use of different mediums. Samreen Asif has focussed on Mughal styled miniatures capturing different forms of female while Faiza Khans works are based on abstract figurative imagery blended with colours. The changing light of day and moods are the foundations of my work. My paintings usually start with a colour idea, then evolve into compositions in which colour is the primary subject. To me, art is a synthesis of my personal feelings, said Faiza Khan while commenting on her work. She said, In my latest work, I have taken inspiration from nature. I experience nature as roiling, forceful energy that is extraordinary and yet also an ordinary part of everyday life. Tabassum Rizvi has painted Thar women, their struggle and various aspect of their life in amalgam of similar hues. My observation of life finds form of expression in my paintings which is a source of great pleasure and satisfaction, giving me a sense of inner peace as well as sense of achievement, Tabassum Rizvi said. She further said, I capture the beauty of movement around us and female form is more suitable to show empathy and communication. I use bold brush strokes and colours to convey the movement related to the canvas of life. Done with mixed media, Sadias art is a private statement on her life experiences. Most of her drawings concentrate on the human anatomy, and female figure. The exhibition will continue till May 10th.
