KARACHI
\nArts Council of Pakistan Karachi\u2019s Fine Art Committee organized a thought-provoking session and art exhibition, \u201cCuratorial Confessions,\u201d focusing on the art of painting. The event featured insights from Fine Art Committee Chairman Farrukh Shahab, artists M. Zeeshan, Faraz Siddiqui (Karachiwala), and Umaina Khan, while the session was moderated by Shamama Hasnay.
\nSpeaking on the occasion, Farrukh Shahab reflected on the transformation in the art of world over the past four decades. \u201cForty years ago, the concept of a creator was very different from what it is today.
\nThe environment was more about mentorship, and there was no digital media. Access to information wasn\u2019t as easy as it is now,\u201d he said.
\nHe reminisced about the days of the Sindh Art Exhibition and shared experiences from the World Culture Festival, where he had the opportunity to learn from young creative artists from around the world.
\n\u201cA creator is, in many ways, like a director,\u201d He added. He also appreciated Arts Council President Muhammad Ahmed Shah for his continuous efforts in promoting art and culture.
\nArtist M. Zeeshan emphasized the importance of awareness in an artist\u2019s life. \u201cAn artist must always keep their eyes open. Everything visible to them can be a medium.
\nFrom materials used in art to lighting\u2014even the gallery setting\u2014everything holds significance,\u201d He noted. He humorously remarked that artists have a habit of continuing their work until the very last moment.
\nFaraz Siddiqui highlighted the importance of networking and organizing in any exhibition. \u201cI enjoy challenges. If an artist is not satisfied with their work, they try to improve, and many succeed. Only a fellow artist can truly understand the value of their work,\u201d He said.
\nUmaina Khan stressed the need to take art beyond gallery walls. \u201cAn artist\u2019s work shouldn\u2019t be confined to art galleries. The public should also be made aware of art so they can form their own opinions,\u201d she remarked.
\nThe session concluded with attendees visiting the Ahmed Pervez Art Gallery, where they admired the display of sketching, drawing, and painting works, appreciating the creative expressions showcased in the exhibition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
