Lands Beyond The Veil Continues till April 28th I

Lands Beyond The Veil Continues till April 28th

In this exhibition Shanzay Subzwari’s marks a return to large-scale acrylic painting after more than a decade, this series draws upon her training in Mughal miniature painting while expanding into a hybrid visual language that oscillates between the detailed and the dreamlike. The compositions navigate a space between the real and the surreal, allowing for a fluid interplay of narrative, symbolism, and abstraction.

All That Was Left Behind continues till May 13th

In this exhibition, the artist, Nain Tara’s practice begins with a question of relation: what does it mean to remain in contact with what is no longer fully present? Engaging memory and material transformation through acts of repair and absence, she uses acrylic on canvas in combination with wire mesh. Her works hold fragmentation without resolution, allowing traces of what has been lost to remain embedded within surface and structure..

In this exhibition the artist Zahabia Khozema constructs narrative, image-based landscapes drawn from lived recollections of an industrial town in Central Punjab, now shaped by extraction, environmental change, and gradual disappearance. These scenes unfold through fragments of story and atmosphere, where memory is reassembled through image and place in oil paint and oil pastel.

Turab continues till May 13th

In this exhibition the artist closely engages with his surroundings, and responds to both minor details and broader societal issues, translating them into visual forms. His work often addresses the complexities of contemporary life—ranging from personal experiences to collective challenges—while questioning the structures and “walls” that shape human interaction.

Lands Beyond The Veil Continues till April 28th

In this exhibition Shanzay Subzwari’s paintings explore broader questions of hidden dimensions, inaccessible realities, and the boundaries of human perception. Through this lens, the work approaches liminality as both a spiritual and metaphysical condition, shaped by imagination as much as belief.

Through her contemplations on the soul and its journey beyond the physical world, shaped in part by a period of personal loss, Shanzay Subzwari takes us into the depths of her imagination and inner landscape, creating mystical, fantastical realms where the soul resides before its reunion with the Divine.
