ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Denso Hall was constructed as the first library for the natives of Karachi. James Strachan was the architect of the project and the building was completed in the year 1886. The architectural design is Venetian gothic. Karachi was a small port town during the reign of the Talpur dynasty in Sindh. The British East India Company conquered Karachi on 3 February 1839 and started developing it as a major port town. The British realised the importance of the city as a military cantonment and rapidly developed its harbour for shipping. The foundations of a city municipal government were laid down and infrastructure development was undertaken. The British colonial government built libraries in Karachi, but they were restricted to British colonial officers and their families only.

Khalid Khan, also known as Kaay, is an acclaimed artist who has to his credit solo painting exhibitions in the Germany, and Pakistan. He has held group exhibitions in many European countries including France, Germany, Spain, and the UK. In 1988 Kaay graduated in fine arts from a renowned Arts college in Karachi and soon began his career as a graphic designer. After his first solo painting exhibition in 1993 he got an opportunity to visit London. Having fallen in love with the city, he decided to make London his home and returned in 1995 to realize this dream. Here he studied media production and computer graphics. His career took him to Germany next where he spent 7 years working as a creative director in an advertising agency. However, his love for the city of London did not diminish. He followed his heart and returned to London and that is where he resides now. Kaay’s passion for art never faded and for the last ten years his main focus has been painting.     ARTIST STATEMENT: My paintings are the result of an OERB (Obsessive Experimental & Restless Behaviour). Due to my restless nature I work simultaneously in different styles and subject. Perhaps I don't have a particular style or maybe I am still searching for it or just enjoying the journey towards the unknown. I don't know what I want but I am quite sure what I don't want. I strongly feel that a painting should depict an artist not a style.
