Defined by
shadows, the stately, nostalgic works in Aqeel Solangi's show offer a
moving, somewhat cinematic, perspective on the power and vagaries of memory. The
muted and sun-brightened colours underscore the fluid grace of the works'
pastoral setting. At first glance, the paintings evoke an altogether serene
memory: the rootless white flower set against an imaginary background, and the
blue sky as if it had always been there. But there is also an overwhelming
energy in the pictures.
Aasim Akhtar is an art critic, photographer and
curator based in Islamabad, Pakistan.
