Weekend Scout s IRFAN HASAN Artist
@irfanhasan9 What does art mean to you? For me art is sanity. It keeps me sane.
MARCH 31, 2019 | 46
What kind of art do you identify with and why? I had always been interested in figurative and portrait painting. However, I did my specialization in Indo-Persian miniature painting. I have never painted any painting without a body. What kind of technique/medium do you prefer to work with, and why? I have experimented with mediums and medias including animation, projection mapping and photography but I really enjoy working in waterbased mediums. I think it is still the toughest medium and I enjoy that challenge.
weekend | Fashion
Are there any memorable responses you have received for your work? Once I had a show of paintings in Kolkata and one of the visitors literally started screaming that these are photographs not paintings and the artist is a liar. It was a simultaneously surreal, funny and somehow complimentary moment! Secondly, one of my students literally had tears in her eyes after looking at my work. What a huge compliment!
How did your interest in the field develop? Share a little bit about your background. Drawing was the only practice that I enjoyed throughout my childhood. Later on, after looking at the books of old masters from the Renaissance period and Dutch painters, I decided that I want to be like them. They are still my role models.
MARCH 31, 2019 | 47
What is your ultimate goal/ dream as an artist? I am not sure about my ultimate goals but my current goal/dream is to pursue my masters.
weekend | Fashion
What themes do you generally tend to explore through your work? I have a diverse practice but my current work is influenced by one of the finest court painters of the Qajar dynasty in Iran, Abu al Hassan Ghaffari. I am also studying photorealistic portraits these days and really loving it.
MARCH 31, 2019 | 48
What is your ultimate vision as an artist? I believe in skill-oriented practices. As a teacher I always encourage students to acquire the relevant skills in order to express their ideas. Spreading knowledge and skills is my ultimate vision and goal. Who/what is your work influenced by? I think this is the most difficult question so far. I have a long list of artists whom I really admire and look up to. Some of the many are; William Adolphe Bouguereau, Rembrandt, Abu all Hassan Ghaffari, Lucian Freud and Jenny Saville.

Press pause on print
Tajdeed PKR 2800
For years on end we’ve seen our social media feeds saturated with multiple motifs and pattern heavy summer lawn. This year we decided to put a pause on the many prints at play in the clothing industry. From flowers, trellises, snakes, leopards and butterflies to the Eiffel Tower, Taj Mahal, the Hagia Sophia and Badshahi mosque; we’ve literally seen and sported it all. It’s time for a clean break from the clutter of this stereotypical summer style and look for solid colours and styles in the market that give our eyes and mind a much needed detox from design overdose. Here are a few options from some of our go-to retailers. Feminal box cut tunic PKR 2498
Sweet spring angrakha PKR 2498
