Amjad Naeem’s solo exhibition

LAHORE

Solo exhibition of Amjad Naeem's works will begin tomorrow (Wednesday), evening, at Hamail Art Galleries.

For those who crave for a close encounter with the nature, want to take a break from the hectic and tiring city life only to spend time in the company of the flower-laden tall trees and beautiful landscapes of our mesmerising country, Amjad Naeem has brought it all on his canvas at Hamail Art Galleries.

A person with a calm and soft nature like Amjad Naeem always gets a way to rise in the field of his specialisation especially concerning creativity.

His artworks ranging from landscape to cityscapes comprised of interesting social and cultural aspects with aesthetics. He uses colour palette very rich focusing on the subject matter and the story. Which attract the eye and creates a special environment to see and discuss things? Of course, the paintings are vibrant and bold portraying artists' approach and interest in the subconscious mind. It seems that the artist gradually has succeeded in discovering self-transformation with some meta-message.

His paintings generally symbolise the enjoyment of food in restaurants and visits to the parks surrounded by elements of architecture both oriental and modern. The use of dark oranges, greens and blues with hues has created dramatic effect of somewhat night scenes reflecting light from that doors, windows and steps of minarets. His landscapes are expressive and the artist has attempted to tell us about the beauty of gardens, urban suburban and rural stories.

Similarly, activities of crops and the way in which buffaloes, cows and bulls are grazing freely have been captured and composed on the canvas interestingly. His metamorphosis work with geometric element in the drawing creates a sense of solidity due to regular shapes of figures and other objects like chairs and tables.

Amjad Naeem has continuity in his creative activities of paintings, teaching art and related events. His services of teaching to the special children, including grown-up requiring special attitude are highly appreciable. He is very dedicated to his assignments but does not compromise when he is painting. He is regularly participating in the group show over and above his solo show.
