Faceless بے صورت

Faceless | ورتُص بے is a mid career retrospective spanning Khadim Ali’s phenomenal career, highlighting and bringing together his rich and diverse oeuvre. The title of the exhibition has been inspired by a verse by the poet Ghalib:

There is no solution in sight | آتی نہیں نظر صورت کوئی

It highlights the privilege of identity, a freedom that is often taken away from minorities who are “othered”. For Ali, this exhibition is a return to Lahore, his first solo show in the city, and an important moment to consider the journey he has undertaken. Curated by Zahra Khan, Faceless | ورتُص بے includes paintings from his impressive thesis exhibition in 2003, spans his artistic trajectory and concludes with recent tapestries created for this retrospective at COMO Museum.
