Description

OnaizTaji was born in 1991 in Karachi, Pakistan. He is working as an artist in Karachi. Onaiz received his BFA from National College of Arts, Lahore in 2016. While I was studying Indo-Persian miniature technique I was really inspired by the ‘kalam’ or the line work. I keep exploring the technique of my brush and pushing the limit of my stroke and control. The line is important in my work because I view it as the defining characteristic of the people in my pieces yet the line is both unique and different at the same time. I was inspired to investigate a large number of people gathered together in a disorganized or unruly way. I have been interested in dealing with ‘individuals’. The whole Image for me resembles organic shapes or patterns but upon closer inspection, the thousands of smaller units (individuals) do not lose their organic quality. In the macro sense their placement deeply affects the feel of every piece and characterizes newer aspects to look at upon every viewing of the work. Such details reveal what goes on where there is a lot of activity such as a social event or any incident involving a multitude of individuals, how collaborative thinking work resulting in a group of individuals functioning with a singular or similar intent. I associate my perpetual dealing with the individual subjects as the core of my imagery development.
