Mina Siddique’s art work on display

LAHORE

Dubai-based artist Mina Siddique held exhibition of her art and design work at a local studio Thursday. The collection paid tribute to Bollywood and Western cultural icons Zeenat Aman, Frida Kahlo, Noor Jehan, and Audrey Hepuburn. Siddique translated her art background onto a vast selection of mediums with definitive emotion. 

A graduate of the Indus Valley School of Art in Karachi, Mina Siddique, has given a new meaning to modern and contemporary art. In fact sometimes her artistic expression borders on traditional tones, making the final product all the more beautiful with a play of paradoxes. She is truly unique as an artist and designer, since she places no limits on the variety of mediums she uses for her expression and is equally daring when it comes to exploring and experimenting with new horizons for themes and ideas. Mina has recently taken her passion for art towards interior design, and in a very short time taken Dubai by storm. She is now launching her ready-to-wear collection, as well as a line of designer handbags made to the highest quality with hand worked detail with the focus on her original design prints.

Her exhibition was an explosion of colour with silk capes lining one rack and printed shirts and jackets spiraling down another. Mina Siddique’s avant-garde lamps with strong statement themes and bright cushions in leather and silk adorned the tables along with the original artwork and design prints created for digital printing on the fabrics. Capes, jackets and sarees from the ‘Zeenat Aman by Mina Siddique’ collection were displayed as well and the signature clutches were exhibited on benches and stands.

Exhibition: Niarang Rare Carpets Exhibit, a unique initiative by the Niarang Art Galleries, is being inaugurated by Sayyada Abida Hussain at the Niarang Galleries, Habitat Flats, Jail Road, on Friday, 1st of April at 6:30pm.

Refined and exciting carpets being made in this region of the globe are being presented for the delight of the art lovers and the carpet buffs alike in the Niarang Gallery.
