Mansur Aye and minimal lines paintings
Jassim Taqui
An exhibition of EXCEPTIONAL CHEMICAL PAINTINGS by Mansur Aye opened on Friday, 25 November 2016. The paintings are made by a unique methodology that he discovered during experimentation. The painter Mansur Aye would first apply a light chemical fluid to remove or wash colors on a printed page of magazine or on a photograph with brush and/or cloth. This prepared the background of painting. Then he would use a black marker or a pointer pen to draw the figure over it to complete the composition in his masterly style of minimal lines.
An art lover and collector, MNA Dr. Shireen Mazari inaugurated the exhibition on Friday 25 November 2016 at 5:00 pm
The exhibition will continue till 04 Dec, 11 am to 7 pm
Rafi, Mansur Aye demonstrated this technique to the Indian artist F N Souza, when he visited Karachi for his exhibition at the Indus Gallery, who later presented it internationally.
Recently, more than 40 chemical paintings have been discovered with a close friend of Mansur Aye, that have never been exhibited before. These have been composed over beautiful scenes of Hawaii, California, New Zealand and Italy amongst other places.
The following are the paintings exhibited in Gallery 6:
