A three person show at O Art Space displaying the works of Aimen Kathia, Ayesha Naeem and Hamza Qazi showcased some of the recent work of the artists.
Aimen Kathia’s work are mainly a fusion of magic realism and surrealism which aim to explore the layers of tormented innocence, adolescence and grief. Her colour palette is vibrant and aesthetically pleasing. Her intricate details and sure brushstrokes are confident and bold.
Ayesha Naeem is a visual artist and art curator. Her medium varies between oil paints and photography. Her current work is oil on canvas and she beautiful captures shadows, fluctuations with light and intricate details in her work.
Hamza Qazi, a Lahore born artist, makes quote a statement with his art. The detailed line work, drapes of fabric as they fold and blend into each other is mesmerising. In one of the pieces, which looks like a tulip flower at first glance, one can see the outline of what seem to be baby legs. Perhaps the flower like shape signifies the woman’s uterus and the baby within holds the promise of a better and brighter future.
Wonderful exhibition with thought provoking and engaging pieces that make a statement to the viewers.
