Exhibition of abstract figurative art continues.

ISLAMABAD, March 27, 2009 (Balochistan Times) -- An exhibition of abstract form figurative art by renowned artist Mashkoor Raza is continuing here at Nomad Art Gallery (NAG). The paintings put on display are with the medium of oil and acrylic on canvas using the symbolism of women for beauty and horse for power. Mashkoor Raza is an established signature in figurative abstract, non-representational abstract and calligraphic painting. Creating transparency with parts of basic forms of square, circle and triangles on his canvases, he shows versatility of handling subject, paints and composition. Mashkoors paintings are not necessarily based on the social issues or directed towards philosophical ideas, the problems he solves are of physical nature. Mashkoor has been a practicing professional for over three decades and has now established himself as an identity on canvas for amalgamated power of women and horses. His calligraphic art is no less than the strong expression. Mashkoor depicts it with his aesthetic sense of colours and an aura of antiquity. The melancholy effect of moon and the solar eclipse blended with the chivalry charge of horses has stunned the viewers. He has on his credit more than twenty solo exhibitions and numerous group shows while his work has seasoned with the passage of time and shapes of triangles, squares and rectangles have emerged softly and silently in their assigned areas. His creativity with paints is highly poetic, like each colour blending with other like a verse. The exhibition will continue till March 30th.
