Pakistani Painter
Ahmed Parvez (
Life as an artist
In 1962, Parvez held a two-man exhibition at the Lincoln Gallery with American painter Alexander Calder . Ali Imam wrote in 1979 that "Ahmed Parvez has held over 30 solo exhibitions in Europe, the US and Pakistan. He is undoubtedly our most exhibited Pakistani painter abroad."[2]
Declaring his paintings to be "art of the highest standard",
Tachism as has been accomplished by anyone. The mood is as near to [Paul]
Klee as it is to the jeweled ambiance of an Eastern potentate."
[2]
The Oxford Mail review of Parvez's work noted that "it takes an extremely clear vision or strong personality to impose such an individual character on an abstract or near abstract design. Ben Nicholson , Ivon Hitchens , Jackson Pollock and R.J. Hitchcock are among the few that have it; so is Ahmed Parvez."[2]
In the 1950s, Victor Musgrave , a British poet, art dealer and curator of Gallery One, considered Parvez to be "without question, the outstanding artist from Pakistan who has made a very strong impact upon the English art world. His extension into the West of the ideals implicit in Muslim art has been an effort of unique importance."[2] Ahmed Parvez attempted to integrate Modernism into Pakistani art.[1]
Life in the UK and US
From 1955 to 1964, Ahmed lived and worked in London, UK.Sendai, Japan
. She would later give birth to their son, Aleem Isago Parvez.
Death
Ahmed Parvez died of a
brain hemorrhage in Karachi in 1979.
