Following the rhythm of life:
Dance of life; ruins of heritage; saint’s saga; quest for light; silent unity-are some of the titles given to a set of ’line work’ by Shafique Farooqi-an artist with well-established repute, both within the country and overseas His ’lines; while relying the calligraphic flow, rhythm and movement create images that translate his intuitive perception of reality-of the visual, as well as beyond the limit of visible. It's spontaneous and impulsive, from within. ’ I feel myself in the grip of ’ line’ as much as a poet may feel himself in the grip of words
There was once a stage in his art career when his talent focussed mainly on the language of colors now it is the bold and free-following "line that rules him, speaking in figurative terms. Shafique believes his line work are an individual expression added to the national art scenario which, in due course, will become his identity, his subjective expression of creative art. The mysterious powerful lines (in black ink) are subtly patterned-though seeming most unpainted at a casual glance. Symbols like labyrinth, birds, fauna, images, vaguely representative of human figures occur recurrently in the array of this series
