Father Figure: South Asian Art Through the Eyes of Wahab Jaffer

VM Art Gallery and the ZVM Rangoonwala Foundation present Father Figure: South Asian Art Through the Eyes of Wahab Jaffer, an exhibition that brings together the art collection of the celebrated Pakistani abstract artist and patron, Wahab Jaffer, alongside those of his own works inspired by the artists he supported and befriended.

The exhibition features works by some 20 artists from Pakistan, India and Bangladesh.

The exhibition focuses specifically on figurative and abstract artworks from South Asia, exploring how relationships with artists such as Ahmed Parvez, Ali Imam and Bashir Mirza (all who became the collector’s friends and, later, inspirations) inspired Jaffer himself to begin painting.
