Hamid Ali Hanbhi Artist
What does the word Art mean to you?
Art is one’s understanding to receive and reflect upon various social constructs. It is a unique universal language which communicates with people from all walks of life
What kind of technique and mediums do you mostly work with?
I mostly work with oils, collage, graphite, acrylics, etc
How did your interest in the arts develop? Share a little bit about your background. When I was a child, I used to watch morning programmes on PTV which showed artworks and drawings of kids. It inspired me to draw and share my work with people around me so I started my practice from a very early stage. Later on I worked as a cinema board painter, till I joined The National Collage of Art, Lahore.
What is your work influenced by?
The subject matter in my work ranges from political imagery to romance, from violent war images to poetic landscapes of a world yet to be experienced.
January 20, 2019 | 28
Is there anyone or any place in particular you would like to create a piece for? My work is not typically done for any person or audience or even an organization in particular. My practice is for my own advantage. I try doing the work in my own way with my own perception and without restrictions.
weekend | Fashion
Well there are many artists who inspire me like Rachel Whiteread, Ali kazim, R.M Naeem, Bruce Nauman, Vija Celmins, Damien Hirst, Hamra Abbas.
What themes and symbols do you generally tend to explore through your work? I always try to do different themes based on social and political issues from my surroundings, things, people and situations I can relate to.
January 20, 2019 | 29
Name a few artists who inspire you.
weekend | Fashion
.In what way do you think your art impacts you or society at large?
It depends on the viewer, how they receive it. Sometimes one line, one image, one music piece, or one experience can have a multifold effect that impacts each individual differently.
January 20, 2019 | 30
Where does Art in Pakistan stand today and in what way do you think it should evolve? Pakistani Art is being appreciated all over the world and we are witnessing great art acceptance in the Pakistani audience as well. Art evolves on its own terms and pace, depending upon the political, social, religious and financial condition of the region; it should evolve while standing on its indigenous roots.
What is your ultimate vision as an artist?
To make the world liveable for everyone in harmony and peace.
