The first monograph devoted to Lahore-based artist Fahd Burki, covering a decade of his unique works on paper. Fahd Burki is known for his works on paper employing acrylic, charcoal, marker pen and collage; he has also produced a number of screen prints. These works frequently feature abstract graphic fields that contain a central form dominating the picture plane. The sources for these forms range from tribal folk art to science fiction. Painstakingly produced by hand, Fahd Burki's imagery offers a series of playful and at times menacing icons or symbols harvested from a very personal mythology of the present, at once disconcertingly familiar and completely novel.
