“The Travelling Egg” exhibition by artists of National College of Arts (NCA) opened Wednesday at the Rohtas gallery. The group exhibit featuring mixed-media works by Nadia Rahat, Rabia Khalid, Zaira Ahmed Zaka, Aleem Dad Khan, Sophiya Khwaja, Imran Hunzai and Nadia Hussain, centred on each artist’s take on the proverbial “egg”.
“Each of the seven artists from NCA Rawalpindi is interpreting an ‘egg’ in their respective artworks,” said Natasha Iqbal, Rohtas Gallery curator. The artists have used a variety of mediums to represent their central image: modestly priced wood carvings, ceramic sculptures, etchings, mixed media on paper, digital prints, collage on board and collagraphs dominating the walls and the floor.
“I think the work is really interesting and pertinent to everything around us,” said Yasir, a guest, admiring a piece by Sophiya Khwaja.
The exhibition is set to continue till May 21.
