Ghulam Mohammad: Scripting on the Edges
View through Artsy
Anant Art is excited to present the meticulously detailed works of Pakistani artist Ghulam Mohammad (b. 1979) in this viewing room. Mohammad, a pioneering artist following the neo-miniature school of painting, engages with language as a powerful metaphor to question the idea of a mother tongue, and the presence of a universal language and its imposition. In rendering Urdu and Persian letters, Ghulam's exhaustive process manually carves out books, populating them with letters and new meanings.
