Exhibition of Love Peace Harmony by Abid Khan At Ejaz Art Gallery

Exhibition of Love Peace Harmony at Ejaz Art Gallery

Ejaz Art Gallery: Born in 1966 in Lahore to a working class family, Abid Khan started practical life early when he began helping his father, who was an optician, after the school hours. Being a below-average student, his studies could never interest him. Drawing school charts and learning an optician’s skills were among his major interests. He continued working at his father’s shop until he earned his Masters degree in English literature in 1993. With a passion to paint and draw, he kept on practicing on his own, as he lacked resources to have formal art education. In 1996, he met a senior painter, Khalid Iqbal, and showed him his works. He agreed to guide him because of his seriousness in learning to paint and this was the turning point for Abid Khan.

In 1999, he had his first solo show of cityscapes, executed with dry pastels though it was well-received by the media and art circles, only one painting was sold at the show due to which he had a lot of pressure from his family to do something else to earn living. However, his father supported him and encouraged him to continue to paint. He continued displaying his works regularly in solo shows, winning appreciation and gradually having his share in the art market. Inspired by the impressionist painters Monet and Van Gogh, he is working for more than 15 years with 10 solo shows to his credit. Popular for his delicately treated landscapes, he works with soft brushstrokes and mellow tones usually on low textured canvasses. He is among the few Lahore-based artists working as whole-time painters. the works of Iqbal Hussain, Colin David and Khalid Iqbal have been his permanent sources of inspiration.

His latest SHOW will be at EJAZ ART GALLERY named “LOVE, PEACE, HARMONY” on 22nd October, 2014 and will be remained on display till 1st November 2014. If you are a real art lover then you should visit this exhibition. Some of paintings which will be on display are:
