Jamil Naqsh : and the eternal feminine

28 July - 27 August 2017

Jamil Naqsh's new series of images reaffirms his reputation as a master draughtsman, with a sidelong glance at established Western traditions to which he both does and doesn't belong.

 

What he now offers are close-up portraits of beautiful young women, of a type familiar from the romantic dream world of classic Mughal miniature painting, but enlarged to life- size, or maybe a little beyond that and presented in warm sepia monochrome.
