KARACHI: It is always nice, in any field, in more ways than one, to go back to basics. In art, it invariably means the art of drawing. ‘Basic’ doesn’t necessarily suggest ‘the initial process’; it implies origin in its purest form.
A group drawing show titled Axis Mutatis, which is under way at the Full Circle Gallery and will conclude on Feb 5, is a fine example of how artists rediscover themselves through complexity of ideas with the simplicity of technique.
Let’s get the name of the exhibition sorted first. The English phrase, according to a handout provided by the gallery, written in brackets alongside axis mutatis is ‘mutated earth’. “It came from a 90s’ music album by The Shamen. It is about the shamanic journey one takes. Hence, the drawings deal with esoteric subjects such as chaos and order, conscious and subconscious mind, fantasy and surreal imagery.”
