A retrospective exhibition dedicated to the paintings of controversial Pakistani artist, Tasaduq Sohail, will open at The Noble Sage Gallery on 20th June.

Sohail fled his homeland in 1961 to start a new life in the UK. Though far away, the oppression and violence that he encountered as a young man after partition never left him. The paintings in this exhibition, all executed in London, respond to his past with a biting, satirical wit as much as with a strange, macabre vision of the world.

Rebellious and prolific, Tasaduq Sohail is today certainly one of the most renowned contemporary artists of Pakistan. At 77 years old, he has had over 40 solo exhibitions to date, more than 25 in Pakistan and 15 internationally. A month back, a painting sold for well above double the starting estimate at a Bonhams auction. Sohail is finally enjoying the success he deserves after more than forty years of toil to break the London art scene.
