A solo show displaying the works of Ameer Umar was held ar Art Chowk Gallery. The show provided insight into the artists unique thought process and showcased his talent and skill. Ameer Umar Khan is a self-taught contemporary artist creating realist and impressionist portraits and figures subtly influenced by renaissance, American illustrators, impressionists and Russian academic art.

“My Art initiated from an attempt to studying human anatomy and the focus progressively shifted to now almost purely exploring the aesthetics and design. It’s a constant effort for me to find the balance between trying to keep a harmony between different works so there is a signature there yet not being monotonous with the style or simply say a balance between style(consistency) and character(individuality).”

“My Art initiated from an attempt to studying human anatomy and the focus progressively shifted to now almost purely exploring the aesthetics and design. It’s a constant effort for me to find the balance between trying to keep a harmony between different works so there is a signature there yet not being monotonous with the style or simply say a balance between style(consistency) and character(individuality).” Ameer’s colour palette is varied, but the artist seems to heavily favour darker, more somber colours. This adds depth to his portraits, making the faces he paints come to life. His line work is intricate and his brushstrokes bold and certain.

Ameer’s work is bold and distinct. His work stands out and is a refreshing change. His skill, technique and talent show his passion for art. Conversations, Oil on canvas, 12 x 18 Inches
