No room is truly complete without artwork. Sculptures, prints or photographs fill empty spaces giving your home a unique personality. Paintings have been the choice of art for most people. It is the expression of ideas and emotions in a two-dimensional visual language. There is plenty of unique artwork available for you to buy. We have rounded up 11 local artists who are selling their paintings online.
1. Mohsin Sheikh
Mohsin Sheikh’s (@m.mohsinshaikh) style revolves around the philosophy “nothing is true”. It portrays the fragile beliefs and concepts of our society that can be altered at any time. According to the artist, temporary means chalk. Thus, his paintings are the depiction of the dusty chalkboard that expresses his thought process. Society changes its tradition, opinions and cultures constantly just like chalk.
Mohsins latest painting ‘The Blue Sea Board’ was a beautiful piece of oil on canvas and was displayed at The Pakistan Art Forum (@pakistan.art.forum).
The prices of his paintings depend on the content and measurements but usually start from Rs. 80,000. Explore Mohsin Sheikh’s world here!
