Aq Arif

Arif graduated from the renowned Karachi School of Art in 1996, and began to show his work in exhibition.In Lahore he was entranced by the beauty of the rural areas, the lush landscapes, predominant green areas and the sense of space. Using a mixed media technique the artist began to work on a larger scale striving to encompass the beauty of his surroundings fusing history with nature. With numerous solo exhibitions to his credit, in Pakistan and abroad, his work has been acclaimed internationally. His work appears to invite the viewer to a world of landscape touched by fantasy and unspoiled by human habitation. 2007 Clifton Art Gallery, Karachi, Pakistan (SOLO) 2005 25 Senior Artists at Clifton Art Gallery, Karachi, Pakistan. 2004 Clifton Art, Gallery, karachi, Pakistan (SOLO)
