Ismail Gulgee
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ismail Gulgee (born 1926) is an award winning globally famous Pakistani artist. He is a qualified engineer in the USA and self-taught abstract painter. Before 1959, he painted the entire Afghan Royal Family.
His paintings are bright and full of color, but the paint is put on with greater sensitivity and paintings vibrate with intense feeling. Areas sing with luxminous thin color, thick blobs of paint pulsate with fiber-glass tears, the brush swirls strong and free. The total effect is very gray, yet considered and well thought out. They work enormously well, because it is all orchestrated with great care and concentration.
Paintings are often commissioned, or go abroad and therefore only reach relatively small audience. He has had exhibitions in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
His son Amin Gulgee is also a famous artist.
