About me

 

 

Shahzad Zar is perhaps the last young artist to have been guided by that man of the arts, S. Ali Imam. When the artist first approached Imam he was in his teens, a   self-taught young man struggling to teach himself the art of collage, mixing ORGANIC MATERIALS and paint .Imam was interested in Shazad’s work and in his determination to be an artist. He sent him away with advice and suggestions and monitored HIS PROGRESS from then on. Four years later Imam felt the artist was ready for an exhibition at the prestigious Indus Gallery and Shahzad Zar was launched with a solo   exhibition in 1999.
