The Koel Gallery has brought together artists from Scotland and Pakistan to discover in their work the refractions of a shared and evocative vision of the elemental power, rhythm and continuity of natural forces.
The participants of the exhibition titled ‘Landscape of Memory’ are Ade Adesina, Farrukh Adnan, Naiza Khan, Marian Leven, Zara Mahmood, Michele Marcoux, Oliver Reed, Usman Saeed, Gill Tyson and Sohail Zuberi. Curated by Sana Bilgrami and Maliha Peracha, the show is running at the gallery until December 29.
According to the Koel Gallery, this exhibition reveals how borders can be surpassed through the language of mark-making, and how artworks can speak to each other by embracing, subverting and transcending histories. The artists explore the complex and fragile ecological relationships between nature and humanity.
