Project A members at the opening reception for 'Second Skin'Ahsan Masood and Mohsin Shafi put up their very first exhibit together; a collection of acrylic paintings and digital art/photography that they called ‘Second Skin’. The exhibition was held at the Khaas Art Gallery in F-6/3 in Islamabad.
Here’s a list of the work on display:
Ahsan Masood:
“Androgyny” Acrylic on Wood
“Pink Invite I” Acrylic on Paper
“Pink Invite II” Acrylic on Paper
“Pink Invite III” Acrylic on Paper
“Pink Invite IV” Acrylic on Paper
“Circumcision” Acrylic on Wood
“Solha Singhar” Acrylic on Paper
“Little Boy Blue” Acrylic on Metal Sheet
Ahsan’s work embodied the embracing of sexuality and the expression of self-vanity on life-sized paper and larger than life wood paintings and “Circumcision” was his most popular painting in the exhibit. It had already been sold off before the exhibition even started. Ahsan’s first exhibit was a roaring success and he walked away with almost his entire collection sold off within the first few days.
Mohsin Shafi brought quite a few amazing pieces with him, the titles of his works on display were:
“Silwat” Digital Print
“Travel Log” Digital Print
“In My Own Shoes” Digital Print
“Homeland Hostage” Digital Print
“Once in the Mood” Digital Print
“22.4 T” Digital Print
“Construction Deconstruction” Digital Print
“Hidden Agenda” Digital Print
“Once in a Blue Moon” Digital Print
“Convergence Divergence” Digital Print
“The Platform” Digital Print
His work seemed to be all about identity and visual self expression of a lost man with a vision. His prints perfectly blended with and complimented Ahsan’s paintings. The exhibit went on for 9 days and the response from the art lovers of Rawalpindi and Islamabad was enthusiastic and encouraging to say the least. We here at Project A are impatiently waiting for both of these brilliant men to return to the local art scene with a new collection.
"Circumcision" Ahsan Masood's strongest piece in the exhibit
