Abrar Ahmed

Bate plays a very important role in the popularity of his work. Use of deep ink blue with burnt yellow woven into intricate designs with hair thin lines give the viewer a story of his roots “Viewing the art of Abrar, one shares the enormous enjoyment the artist obviously relishes in the changing moods of colors. A self-taught artist. Abrar freely delves into the romance of classical miniature painting, and fuses contemporary styles with stunning results. One discovers ethnic patterns, diverse textures and explosions of colors that are breath taking. “The artist’s subject, a bejeweled and gracefully draped woman, is often the centre of composition that includes a musical instrument or birds for company. Perhaps these cameos refer to the romantic period of the Emperor Jehangir when times were peaceful and lovers- together and apart- appeared to be a favored subject. Birds- the messengers of Mughal art- are familiars and obviously important to the sinuous forms that dominate the brilliant coloration and powerful textural interest of their settings. Abrar’s work may be interpreted on historical or philosophical levels yet it is also the work of an imaginative mind and a deeply feeling creative individual. He has participated in many shows all over the world.
