Life in the wilderness
An exhbition that is based on wildlife paintings and photographs by artist Kazi Nazir is a clever mix of the backdrops and wild animals painted on them. The scenery is imaginary and straight from the creative mind. The exhibition takes the passion for the wild that the artist nurtured for a long time; His paintings come to life - literally on canvas. His fascination for the extraordinary beauty and grace of the animals and the natural wild can be seen with the photos that depict animals in their natural habitat. The imagery and the thoughts transport you into the wild and force you to think about the animal kingdom with a new found creative eye. The pictures serve well for anyone who loves animals as on a close view one will be able to see the simplicity of the life in the jungles.
