Ejaz Art Gallery: A. Q. Arif is one of the most creative artist, Pakistan has
ever seen. His paint and brush combinations always surprised his viewers on
every exhibition.
A. Q. Arif is mostly known for his landscapes, which are very complex in their simple nature since last decade. Landscapes show simplicity and directness in appearance but their references are complicated. The field choose by Arif is practiced by many is a challenge but he took this challenge and pursued excellence in it. His canvases are a combination of the legacy in the form of palaces, gardens, forts and havelis and buildings for places left behind by the Mughals as well as the people who inhibited these places. Arif uses modern techniques to execute his paintings. Arif paints his old theme of Mughal and colonial architecture and then adds images of Mughal miniature like elephant on the prepared ground at appropriate places. In painting the architecture, he relies on his own energy and profundity. He is also called as a trendsetter for the young artists, which are emerging in the genre of landscape painting with a particular vision in mind.
Circumstances took Arif to Lahore. A city full of Mughal Art, Lahore fascinated the jubilant artist. He was mentally relaxed in his new surroundings. His settled emotions were obvious in his new body of work at Ejaz Art Galleries, Lahore where he played with shades of blue and green overruling ochre. The viewer found a new tune on A. Q. Arif’s canvases.
