Ali Abbas from Jamshoro, Sindh

“The drawings and paintings of Ali Abbas convey realism portrayed with dignity and compassion. There is a touching simplicity in the delightful cameos he produces, often highlighted by carefully rendered areas of bright coloration.  His subjects appear as transitory figures sheltering in temporary abodes, nomadic and wandering according to seasons and circumstances...."   Marjorie Husain

A collection of some pages that are in a journal style...ie. not just a single 'great' sketch on a page. Ones that tell a story, ones that I enjoy looking at and re-living months, years later. A combination of sketches, media, notes, a map, a bit of collage...and maybe even a tea cup sketch or two

The government launched an arts and crafts exhibition in Islamabad but failed to draw public at the venue. As a result, the craftsmen and skilled labour faced difficulties and returned to their homes with meager amounts of money. The lack of publicity turned a promising event into a major disappointment
