As many as 23 art pieces are put on display at the one-week exhibition opened by National College of Arts Principle Professor Naazish Ata Ullah. The artists use oil paint, acrylic, etching and photography as a medium to express emotions and thoughts. Talking about her expressionist paintings, Amna said that she had tried to express depression and sorrow through dark colours. “Red, Brown and Black express the sadness of subjects,” she added. Khalid put on display 10 paintings of Landscapes of rural areas. Talking to media, Sadaf said that she had used etching, aquatint, dry paint and photography as mediums to produce impressions of confusion and irregularities. Poles and wires are seemed intermingled in her paintings. However, Professor Naazish Ata Ullah says, “Vision can travel on these lines.” Artists Qurat-ul-Ain and Naveed worked on surrealistic subjects and expressed their thought in vibrant colours.
