Abstract landscapes go on display

ISLAMABAD—Nomad Art gallery has opened an exhibition of the exquisite abstract landscapes by the Swedish artist, Ubaid Syed.
More than 24 items have been put on display with the medium of acrylic on canvas titled “After the Rain” which illustrate vibrant integration of colour and passion. Ubaid’s current work is a series of paintings depicting strong images of the Swedish landscapes, particularly the scenic beauty of the ocean.
The artist has captured his surroundings on canvas in bright colours with proper use of light in his works while he has taken nature as inspiration in a variety of forms, light and depth of colours consisting of harmoniously juxtaposed discrete parts. About the work, the artist says that “It is a struggle for imaginative freedom and spontaneity against norms and orders.” The artist has used mixed-media, acrylics, oil and tempera on canvas as a medium representing reality in concrete forms while he has also exhibited in solo shows at home and abroad.
