A group show held in Lahore at O Art Space displayed the works of Afshar Malik, Ahmed Javed, Ahsan Memon, Atif Khan, Ali Baba, Mughees Riaz, Jamil Baloch, Sadaf Naeem, Sana Arjumand, Rabeya Jalil to name a few of the artists.

Ali Baba trained as a painter but mostly works in sculpture and installations. His main focus is the human existence, its condition and the sculpture itself. He mostly works in negative and positive life casts of human body and its parts. His work is intricate, and very realistic, due to the close attention to detail.

Jamil Baloch’s work signifies different behaviours of society. His work shows that we belong to a rich cultural heritage, and he adds touches of modernity to his work to make it relevant. His earlier work focused on violence and cruelty of power and the continuous struggle to survive, but he is also inspired by nature and uses it symbolically throughout his work.

Kaleem Khan’s work is different than many of his contemporary artists, his landscapes are not idealized, they have people in it portraying rugged lifestyle of the area. His works are a study and documentation of the common rural life. Over the years he has developed his technique and perfected his style.

Sadaf Naeem’s beautifully detailed and visually aesthetic floral vines grab the viewers’ attention immediately. They fluctuations of light and play shadows has been expertly captured by Sadaf and makes her work stand out.

All artists bring something different and refreshing to the exhibition. Their unique skill and talent allows their art to make a statement.
