The solo exhibition of Wash Paintings by AH Rizvi, a renowned painter, art teacher at the Karachi school of arts and a man who has been in the field of Art for over three decades, opened by Director of Shakir Ali Museum Amna Pataudi at Oyster Art Gallery, Gulberg on Wednesday.
The captivating creations with mellowed down colourful effects of the Mughal era depiction by Rizvi proved to be a real feast for the eyes of the artists, art lovers and the general public who gathered at the gallery to appreciate the paintings.
The mesmerising water colour works by AH Rizvi won him an instant glory and his works a last admiration from the visitors of the mega event.
According to Rizvi, who has been participating in group shows and exhibitions, where he has won many accolades and loads of appreciation for his creations, “I was captivated by ‘colours’ since a very early age. I found there was something magical in a blank sheet of paper. Colours are a form of language which helped me to interpret my ideas into form and constantly challenged me to come up with surprising creations”.
Rizvi said “I consider myself very fortunate that I have a gift of painting. Water colours have been on my fingertips since I was a child and today, it’s my prime medium”. “The key concepts of my paintings are a true feeling of human life and beauty of Pakistan,” Rizvi concluded. The exhibition will continue till 25 May from 10.00 am to 9.00 pm.
