Card 2

A former student of Karachi School of Art, Qamar Siddiqi is one of the outstanding graduates of his generation. He tends to work in sequences linked by themes of universal interest.  Each one of his skillfully painted large canvas in bold colours contains a continuation; a complete story inspired by considered beliefs. In earlier sequences the artist pondered on the mysteries of birth and death and the fleeting measure of time between. His recent work is collectively referred to by the title: Purity, in which he conveys the social tragedy of man’s obsession with material gain. This is expressed as a factor that he feels ensures the continuation of this cycle in subsequent generations.
