The VM Art Gallery, in collaboration with The Embassy of Spain in Pakistan, displayed the works of artist Fernando Martin Godoy. Godoy is a Spanish visual artist, based out of London. The artist dabbles in various mediums and his focus is on contemporary art.
This exhibition features small-format drawings framed in antique miniature frames, inviting intimate viewer engagement. His work covers collage, sculpture and installations. His work focuses on viewer experience, with color and scale being as vital as ideas. Themes of memory, identity, and boundaries between the real and fictional are covered in this exhibition.
There is heavy influence by Spanish Baroque painting, his art speaks to contemporary experiences through visual language and encourages the viewers to engage in debate and discourse.
This exhibition at VM Art Gallery highlights the impact of Godoy’s work in relation to Pakistan’s rich tradition of miniature painting, emphasizing his perspective as a contemporary Western artist from Southern Europe.
