her quir ky art world

By Sonya Rehman

On the surface, Mahnoor Hussain’s contemporary miniature art depicts a world that is ridiculously amusing and tragically hilarious…veering off into a unique brand of nuttiness. However upon closer inspection, Hussain’s paintings point towards grim themes that explore human psychosis: self-delusion, mania, isolation and more. In an interview with Paperazzi, the immensely talented NCA graduate (currently based in Chicago) speaks about the grim theme behind her last solo show and the subjects encapsulated within her unique brand of art. The subjects of your miniature paintings are unique and rather quirky - please tell me a little about the themes of some of your paintings. Born and raised in Lahore, one will understand the nature of life here and how intricately yet firmly food is linked to our lives. The quirkiness might have been a conscious effort initially, but I’ve come to realize it’s possibly just how I view things. I say it was a conscious effort because when I started creating my own work - it was heading in a rather depressive and somber direction. That made me uncomfortable. I did not want to create more darkness and depression. So yes, it was a conscious decision to inject humor into what I was creating. Maybe it’s my ostrich outlook of life. But the subconscious cannot be denied. I created vibrant images with overweight merry people, who seemed disconnected from their environment and were wrapped up warmly in their own cocoon. On the face of it, it’s a happy image. But if you actually look at it for a while - the darkness will hit you. They’re lonely and 58

sad images. In ‘Circling the Drain,’ a group of women are dancing with abandonment; however the other viewpoint is, there are two women who are unaware of each other’s existence and have no contact whatsoever, except through these imaginary friends they’ve created. ‘Seduction’ is of a laughing man, happy with the abundance of food surrounding him. The cats in the image seem to be pets of his. But again it could actually just be an overweight man, trying to hoard more food than he can eat. The cats, take on a sinister role, ignoring the food lying in the corner, wanting the big shiny pile that belongs to someone else. Predators. Again, the man has been placed in a lonely and slightly delusional role. You exhibited your work at the Taseer Art Gallery last year in Lahore. Please tell me a little about your theme behind your solo show, ‘Together We Stand Alone.’ The theme at its core is about questioning the isolation of self we all deal with at different levels. The disappointments we experience from the world and how, in reaction, we create our own bubble of happiness. Self defense against the basic truth: we are born and we live, we love and we hate, we earn and acquire, discover and forget, mend and break - but the one thing that remains constant through the changing tides of our existence is the fact that we came into this world alone...and alone we shall depart from it. I wouldn’t say my paintings are very complicated. I wouldn’t say they consist of heavy symbolism. What I would say is my work is honest, upfront and at times downright basic. ‘Rukhsana and her dhol’ is a portrayal of a woman unaware of her appearance, not caring of her surroundings and just being merry. It’s her moment. She’s just happy to have her dhol by her. It could be a view into our own lives and how we’re so focused on materialistic objects. Our only relationships seem to be based on our attachment to ‘things’ rather than people. The surrounding crows in the painting depict a forever reminder of the truth that cannot be denied and the existence of an outside world other than our bubble. ‘Akbar’ focuses on the same theme. A self-proclaimed King, happy with his paper crown. To most he might seem delusional. Yet in Akbar’s world only he exists, there is no one else to refute his claim. A fool’s paradise if you wish to call it. What kind of subjects do you like to paint and bring to light? My themes are just my thoughts - it’s not a planned, systematically

processed structure. It’s more free falling and at times, completely spontaneous and a bit of an outrageous process. I feel like we’re surrounded by such political, social and worldly disasters that I tend to focus on what’s within (which unfortunately cannot be isolated from the external influences). It just makes sense to inject humor into it everything without taking away the gravity of the matter; after all, the ability to laugh in the face of dire circumstances is the essence of survival. If I had to sum it all up, I would have to say my core theme is a reflection on a world gone mad. The subjects I tend to focus on are all based on human behaviour; obsession, isolation, and hysteria. I’m fascinated by our capacity to react and cope with what life throws our way. As a young Pakistani artist, what are some of the challenges that you've faced and/or currently are facing? One challenge would be that miniature painting has undergone a recent revival, as opposed to other art forms; contemporary miniature is quite the newborn. Therefore, the exposure is limited. Obviously like everything else, if an art form becomes stagnant, in time it will fade and be forgotten, especially in today’s fast-paced world. It is only natural for art to thrive and to absorb its influencing surroundings. Trying to break free from the set characteristics of the traditional form was enough of a challenge, but the bigger challenge is having people accept the change. Luckily for our generation, we have artists like Imran Qureshi, Shazia Sikander and Nusra Lateef who have paved the way internationally for contemporary miniatures. What's your take on the current art scene in Pakistan? Is it encouraging towards new talent? Pakistan’s art scene is evolving at a faster rate than expected, honestly speaking. We have new galleries that focus solely on promoting new art. We have forums and exhibits encouraging new talent. Lately the concept of art residencies has also caught on with R.M Naeem leading the culture. There was one recently held in Murree which was conceptualized by the late Prof. Dr. Farakh A. Khan. So yes, I would say new talent does receive the boost it needs. We’re also lucky that our senior artists are promoting new talent, both locally and internationally.

Over the years I have seen so many brides stressing out about the most trival things such as the mehndi dances! Girls they are NOT important. No one will remember them but they will definitely remember a cranky bride. So sit back and enjoy the attention. Most of all have fun!

Being a bride is possibly one of the most difficult processes one goes through! We plan our wedding day and what we will wear years before the actual wedding. Meticulous planning goes into each look from the colour combinations and embellishment of the outfits to the jewellery, hair and makeup. Here we feature some of our favourite brides and show you what they wore to their special days. Find out what they have to say!

I chose to wear my motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wedding outfit on my Baraat. I had always been a fan of her wedding pictures as a child. It was an exquisite cream chantilly lace lehnga with a mix of embroidery and dabka. An immense amount of love and attention was put in to the outfit by my Phuphos. For my makeup I went to Saba Shah at Tariq Amin. I am not a fan of big hairdos so she simply gelled back my hair and put red roses around the knot. I was very happy with the makeup. My jewellery was made by the same person who made my mothers set. I did not want to overwhelm the outfit with too much jewellery, I wanted it to stand out and I thought it worked out amazingly.

We want to know more and will share with you exciting travel stories from a few special people in our new section, planes, trains & automobiles! Tell us about your favourite or one of your favourite destination spots. Where did you choose to go and why? This past summer I was fortunate enough to visit Mumbai.

Wasabi at the Taj is fantastic for sushi. My personal favorite spot was a quaint little patisserie in the Kala Ghoda area- La Folie. The deserts are unbelievable and usually get sold out by evening.

What can you do over there to relax and unwind? For a relaxing evening head to marine drive. Enjoy the sunset with a side of local delights such as roasted corn or chaat and gol gappas.

What is the best shopping s p o t s there? Mumbai is a great destination for shopaholics. From local markets, to upscale boutiques and malls the choices are endless. My personal favorite spot was the Kala Ghoda area. The small streets host an array of stores and cafes from highend designers such as Sabyasaachi to quirky boutiques such as Obataimo. Other favorites include Bombay Electric for an eclectic mix of clothes and accessories and Good Earth, both located in Kolaba. The Colaba Causeway has the best Kolapuris one can find. For high-end shopping and high street brands the Palladium Mall is a must visit.

showstoppers & runway drama PFDC has been insisting as of late that they are promoting the business of fashion and ask the designers to focus on their collections as opposed to celebrity showstoppers. However, we feel it’s always exciting to see celebrities walk for designers. When Reema walked for HSY, her shoe broke- so she confidently took it off and owned the moment. We loved it!

the l’oreal newsletter We are so impressed with the L’Oreal newsletters, distributed each day. Not only are they full of great hair & makeup ideas but it’s clear how much thought & effort has gone in to it. Kudos to the people making them!

It’s slightly odd that a designer who has shown on the PFDC platform many times has been included in the rising talent segment. Nevertheless we are looking forward to his “Virsa” collection.

Make a big splash as the week begins! Monday is an excellent day for pioneering ideas and activities, and all eyes are on you as you forge a new path. On Tuesday and Wednesday, count on your ambition and enthusiasm to drive you ahead, and don’t get too preoccupied with how your actions might be taken by others. You just need to focus on getting things done. Thursday and Friday are likewise great days for action and advancement, but that focus will shift slightly to include getting help from (giving help to) other likeminded people. That karmic trend continues into the weekend, and you can help yourself best by helping others.

You might have a hard time trusting others on Monday, and you should pay heed to that hesitance. Risks right now probably won’t pay off, and you need to watch out for your own priorities. On Tuesday and Wednesday, make people plans. You’ll be energized by socializing, and you’ll learn a lot by mixing up ideas and activities with likeminded people. On Thursday and Friday, forge ahead on your own plans and don’t get distracted — especially by anyone who’s just looking to get a rise out of you for their own entertainment. This weekend, don’t go solo. You’ll have the best time if you can team up with friends — and the crazier your plans, the better.

You just can’t beat teamwork, at least not on Monday. You’ll get the most done (and have the most fun) if you can partner up with others and work towards a common goal. On Tuesday and Wednesday, though, those alliances could become troubled (maybe someone else is trying to take charge?), and you might have trouble making sense of someone’s agenda. On Thursday and Friday, expect an unusual influence — probably from a conversation with someone charismatic. You’ll see things differently and could be inspired to take radical action. This weekend, focus on the big picture and your own creativity, and don’t fret just because things aren’t crystal clear.

Do something for yourself on Monday! You’ve done enough for others lately, and you deserve some healthy self-indulgence — especially if it involves some quiet time to yourself. On Tuesday and Wednesday, expect that introverted trend to continue. Work things out on your own rather than looking for help, and strive to strike a balance between ideas competing in your head. On Thursday and Friday, your thoughts will drift to money and material possessions. Take advantage of this financial finickiness to reassess your budget and set some logical goals. This weekend, harness an unusual burst of energy and intuition to make deep connections with the people you care about.

Romance is on the rise on Monday! You’re full of fire and flirtatiousness as the week begins, and your energy knows no bounds — expect others (naturally) to fall smitten at your feet. That confidence and charisma continues into Tuesday and Wednesday, and you’ll have the drive to get what you want, provided you’re willing to help others get what they want, too. On Thursday and Friday, beware of potential conflicts and clashes. Your ego could get the better of you right now, and you may need to let go rather than cling too tightly. On Saturday and Sunday, avoid any interaction involving money. This time is better spent making art and getting in touch with your instincts.

21April/21May

virgo

You’ll want to rush ahead on Monday, but you can’t. Obligations and obstacles block your way as the week begins, and you’ll need to just go with the flow. On Tuesday and Wednesday, all that hard work and planning you did will finally pay off. Your ambitions will be satisfied right now — in your work and maybe even in your love life. On Thursday and Friday, you might need to take a new approach. Keep an open mind and consider conducting an unusual experiment. This weekend, you’ll need to make peace with other people’s pace — no amount of heckling will hurry them up.

It’s a red-letter Monday! Ah, if only all your weeks could start out this way. All your best qualities — your playfulness, optimism and good-natured charm — are doubled for the day. People, predictably, just can’t stay away from you. On Tuesday and Wednesday, you might find yourself feeling a little more conservative. Satisfy this unusual obsession with details and penny pinching by dreaming up original ways to save (like packing your own gourmet lunch). Thursday and Friday are both great days for trying new things and meeting new people. Explore with creativity and confidence. This weekend, you can accomplish a lot (mentally, at least) by just staying in bed and daydreaming.

Anything is possible on Monday with a little perseverance. You just need to dig in and stick to your plans to make things happen as the week begins. On Tuesday and Wednesday, your amazing proficiency for planning continues to save the day, and others will be impressed and amazed by how much you’re able to get done. On Thursday and Friday, you might want to switch things up a little — try some spontaneous solutions and ad hoc approaches to the problems at hand. This weekend, make close connections with others. Use your charm and creativity to communicate clearly.

You can communicate with unusual quickness and clarity as the week begins. Use your excellent articulation to explore big ideas and let others know what you’re really thinking. On Tuesday and Wednesday, you’ll feel the depressing pressure of old problems and issues, but don’t give into that maudlin mood — you’re too affable and easygoing for such self-indulgent whining. On Thursday and Friday, it’s time to take on something (or someone) new. Variety will spice up your state of mind, and that novelty could even bring some romance along with it. This weekend, look for harmony and beauty in life’s little things — and share your perspective with someone else.

Go on and get up caught up in the moment on Monday! Your week begins with an overdue surge of impulsiveness — although beware that someone influential might encourage you to take a clearly unreasonable risk. (Find the balance between being brave and being foolhardy.) On Tuesday and Wednesday, hit up the boss (or some other authority figure) to get what you want. Opportunities have finally aligned themselves to match your ambitions, and you need to strike while the iron is hot. On Thursday and Friday, harmony in your home could be threatened by unexpected outbursts. Keep a cool head and find creative ways to calm the conflict. This weekend, indulge your imagination and playfulness.

Find a common cause on Monday. You’ll do your best work — and have the most fun, too! — if you can connect with others who want the same things you do. On Tuesday and Wednesday, you’ll need to buckle down a little if you’re hoping to make the same progress. That rebel spirit of yours has you chomping at the bit, but fighting the flow will only leave you feeling worn out. On Thursday and Friday, a big boost of energy and inspiration will instigate a change. You’ve got a radical new take on things, and others want to hear your vision. This weekend, put yourself first and don’t let anybody else get you sidetracked.

Luck is on your side on Monday! Fortune favors you as the week begins, provided you’re smart and attentive about how you press your advantage. (One tip: Just be sure to think before you speak.) On Tuesday and Wednesday, lead the way. Others will look to you to guide the group, and you’ll have no problem picking the proper path. On Thursday and Friday, you’ll want to help everyone you meet — and you just might be able to pull it off. Remember that all you need to do sometimes is point people in the direction of what they need. This weekend, indulge yourself. The more lavish the activity, the better.
