Excerpt from: PERSISTENCE OF MEMORY
by Aasim
Akhtar
Defined by shadows, the stately,
nostalgic works in Aqeel Solangi's show offer a moving, somewhat
cinematic, perspective on the power and vagaries of memory. The muted and
sun-brightened colours underscore the fluid grace of the works' pastoral
setting. At first glance, the paintings evoke an altogether serene memory: the
rootless white flower set against an imaginary background, and the blue sky as
if it had always been there. But there is also an overwhelming energy in the
pictures.

curator based in Islamabad, Pakistan.
