Mobina’s flat truth will continue till 3 December
Staff Reporter
Islamabad—The exhibition of paintings by Mobina Zuberi titled ‘Flat
Truth’ continued on the second day on Thursday at Gallery 6. One of
the prominent art figures in Pakistan, Mobina Zuberi has spanned over
three decades of her career. She has now reached a stage where she is
creating abstract paintings.
Mobina’s work is characterized by rigorous attention to formal
elements such as shape, balance, depth, and composition. The process
of layering in Mobina’s work appears to analyse the concept of cyclic
metamorphosis with meanings and associations open to the imaginations
of the observer.
At the exhibition Mobina Zuberi shared her thoughts with participants.
She said the rectangle and round contours raise the issue of many
connotations, and that may draw the viewer into much mysterious
imagery. But all these effects I’ve used in my work are not possible
on machine made papers.
Mobina told Pakistan Observer my paintings are title less because
title painting is only marked that idea and my paintings are for every
person who sees his inner feeling in my paintings. She said suddenly
once in the morning an idea about abstract paintings pinned my mind
and then I had started my work.
Commenting on her work, the curator of the Gallery 6, Dr Arjumand
Faisel told Pakistan Observer that a lot of sentiments were being
expressed and statements were being made openly and plainly about
Mobina’s creative work.
The exhibition will continue till 3 December.
