Very rarely does one get the chance to read a post on Pakistani contemporary art...or even just Pakistani art in general. The paintings are bold, sharp in colour and utterly-in-your face. They force you to a reality that most don't acknowledge exists. I rather enjoy his work - for most it is disturbing, for me it is as real as one can get. If I am not mistaken some of his work can be found at the Cooco's Den (restaurant) in Lahore. I photographed Cooco's Den when I was there just a month or so back. The painting you've highlighted I believe hangs in the foyer above the main door. If you check out my photoblog, you'll notice that painting. http://overamile.blogspot.com/2007/01/coocos-den-lahore.html A pleasure reading this post.
