Exhibition “Travel Pakistan” amuses art lovers

“This exhibition is actually a humble effort to project and cherish different colours of Pakistan and to give a glimpse of its rich culture and art through the medium of oil painting, calligraphy, illustrations and posters”, sated the programme coordinator Amina Zulfiqar in an exhibition held at Iqbal Block by Department of Mass Communication at National University of Modern Languages (NUML), Islamabad.

The art exhibition “Travel Pakistan” which was organized by the students of Mass Communication department today at NUML was true reflection of their talent and it would speak volume of the fact that with a little more effort and guidance these amateur strokes of brushes, calligraphy and imagination could become professional. By capitalizing on this talent, a lot of applause and admiration could be earned for the country and countrymen. The exhibition “Travel Pakistan” was basically the work of latest graphics, traditional art and calligraphy. It aimed to provide hues and colours of all provinces of Pakistan by using the graphics and latest tools of digital media. Paintings, calligraphy, posters, photographs and illustrations were contributed by the students of Mass Communication.

The beautiful oil paintings of interior Lahore and traditional Islamic calligraphy in medium of gold by Wasif Shahid were displayed in the exhibition. Moreover, pictorial illustration of a poem “Taut Batot” by Sufi Tabsum was published in Adobe Photoshop by Noor-e-Sehr, a student of Mass Communication, while posters depicting a gate way to the rest of Pakistan, Balochistan, a place where people live truly, Punjab, history lives in the heat of Sindh, land of extraordinary people, Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa and then land of celebrations, Gilgit were also adding colour to the exhibition. The students told the scribe that they couldn’t expect that their amateur work would draw such a great response from students and other audience and all that applauses have encouraged them for more efforts and hard work.

Some students appreciated the idea of establishing such exhibition within departments as it would lead them displaying their talent at larger platform. Earlier, the exhibition “Travel Pakistan” was inaugurated by the Rector Maj Gen (Red) Masood Hasan.

Moreover, Rector and Director General Brig Azam Jamal also witnessed the paintings and other things at display. Programme Coordinator briefed the Rector and other guests about the exhibition and student painters briefed guests about their paintings.
