A Real Messenger of Pakistan
Artist Mohammed Waris is real massager of Pakistani’s culture and peace in the world
When we say: Culture; is the totality of socially transmitted behaviour patterns, arts, beliefs, institutions, and all other products of human work and thought. Culture refers to all the things make up people’s way of life, and art is a product of a highly creative mind. It includes the creation of images or objects in fields including painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography, and other visual arts. Art is one of the most important means of expression developed by human beings.
Art is manifested in every aspect of life. Artists have always shown a deep concern about life around them. Many of them have recorded in paintings their observation of people going about their usual ways performing their usual tasks.
Modernization and globalization have brought changes to the art world. Migration has allowed artists to interact across the globe. Today we study the case of artist Mohamed Waris from Pakistan as artist painter and calligrapher.
Can we categorize his artwork according to a given art school? Where does he get inspiration from, with reference to her painting’s themes? What is the aesthetic philosophy that motivates his creativity? How does he deal with the visual artwork in terms of space, background, subject matter and colour composition? How does he cope with colour mass, light and their distribution? What artistic value could be seen as a personal trait in his self-quest and his artistic foregrounding?
Biography
Having been academically trained and having mastered the visual art language technically and intellectually, Artist Waris, has for a long time been a fervent adherent of realism in art(art work1,2,3). Still, he has often been very close to nature as his sole source of inspiration and creativity. With respect to art teaching, he teaches his art students about the schools of art in his studio. He is the owner Oyster gallery in Lahore in Pakistan, he gives many art exhibitions to different artists from different parts of the world and different art schools, and he teaches his students along with drawing techniques at both the practice and application levels. It is this intellectual and scientific art`s life
We all know some religions expressly forbid the representation of divinity as human beings or animal forms, although they allow the use of some signs or symbols in their place, that`s why after many excellent art work in classic art school, he decided to limit his work in Arabic calligraphy.
In Mohammed`s Waris Arabic calligraphy art work, the relationship between religion and art is not a contradictory relationship, nor an identical one. There exists between them a kinship and a peculiar mutual aid. Both religion and his art raise us up and awaken in us a striving towards an ideal world about the beauty (artwork 1, 2, 3).
The common between religion and Mohammed`s art is that they both strive to express an idea not in an abstract form (such as in, for example, philosophy and science), but in a concrete visual beautiful calligraphy expression or classic painting.
We all know also; art has always been a handmaiden of religion. Most of the world’s religions have used the arts to aid in worship, to instruct, to inspire feelings of devotion, and to impress and convert non-believers, but Mohammed`s art is a product of a highly creative mind. It includes the creation of images or objects in fields including painting…. His art is really one of the most important art who means of expression developed by human beings. He is manifested in every aspect of Pakistan`s life :( artwork 3, 4).
