About Naveed
The realist paintings of Pakistani artist Naveed Wazir Ali are overflowing with the bustle of a world on the cusp of tradition and modernity. Portraits of physical labor pervade Naveed's work, whether his subjects are rural workers in paintings rich with the palpable heat of sand, livestock and bare feet on rock, or studies of the ornate urban architecture looming over workers dressed in traditional robes, who ride on scooters and load trucks, or haggle in traditional markets. Naveed's commitment to sensory details brings forth the real-life, existential implications of the lives he portrays. Yet despite these unflinching portraits of labor and its burdens, there is joy in these works.
Where the senses and our humanity are alive, Naveed is saying, there is always the potential for happiness. As a committed realist painter, Naveed Wazir Ali's artistic strength lies in capturing the immediate sensory experience, and thereby portraying the humanity of existence, in all its contradictions.
