‘Figure It Out’ on display

LAHORE:‘FIGURE IT OUT’ is the befitting name given to the group show of paintings by four brilliant young artists opened at Ejaz Art Gallery, Friday.
The human figure has always been a prominent medium of expression. It has signified and addressed the human conditions throughout the known history of hominoids. This has been a hallmark of Ejaz Art Gallery to showcase meaningful and sensible art shows, the shows that can bring about a much needed change in our social behavioural canvas. To keep up with the spirit, “Figure It Out” is a show that strikes human feelings in the context of our social desperation.
