Curator terms work more as pieces of pure art than photography. PHOTO: EXPRESS
As the name of the show ‘Amaranthine’ suggests, the artist sees the flight of a bird as an art, something that is timeless and amaranthine, immortal and unfading.
“The flight can be filled with various colours of life which are to me fog, light, shade, cloud and blur created through vision and intellect,” Mudassar says while talking to The Express Tribune. For him, when birds fly, they are leaving a wave of energy everywhere that is amaranthine and full of freedom, the colours and the beauty around them.
“Amaranthine became my dream at an early age and until today most of my work is nostalgic and has that dreamy blur of beauty of immortality which I feel and capture,” he said, adding through this blur he creates a beauty which expresses his inner vision like that boiling sun whether heating up or cooling down has that beauty and the meanings he derives and thrives on.
The aim of his work is not just to reflect nature, but to show how each and everything in nature is on-going and amaranthine to him, he said.
He added the deep feelings in his work are associated with purity of nature.
“Nature always evokes the sense of romanticism in an artist and my philosophy towards life is to capture the immortal and enjoy the freedom and choices we have as individuals,” he elaborated.
Curator and artist Ghulam Hussain said he sees Mudassar’s work more as pieces of pure art rather than photography. “There are photographers, whose work are strictly limited to taking pictures and there are photographers who turn their work into some sort of an art form and Mudassar is one of them,” he said.
The photographs will remain on display till December 3 at the gallery.
