"Dupatta #10" by Shabana Kauser (British–American) - Oil on canvas / 2022 - Fort Smith Regional Art Museum (Arkansas) #WomenInArt #WomenPaintingWomen #WomanArtist #art #artText #artwork #BlueskyArt #FortSmithRegionalArtMuseum #FSRAM #PakistaniArt #Kauser #WomensArt #FemaleArtist #ShabanaKauser #दुपट्टा
The Pakistani heritage of British-born, U.S.-based artist Shabana Kauser’s "Dupatta" series centers the everyday elegance of South Asian women, translating fabric, craft, and memory into contemporary portraiture. Working from real garments and jewelry, she sources and stages herself, the artist builds skin and textile textures in meticulous layers of oil, then accents threads and sequins with needle-fine brushwork. The dupatta (दुपट्टा) scarf is ubiquitous across South Asia and signals heritage, celebration, and belonging; here it becomes a luminous halo that dignifies an anonymous sitter rather than exoticizing her. A beautiful South Asian woman is shown in serene right-profile against a calm teal field. A sheer sky-blue dupatta, netted and edged with gold zari, drapes over her dark hair and shoulders, its surface crowded with embroidered floral sprays and tiny sequins catching soft light. A teardrop maang-tikka head ornament, enameled in blue and gold, rests at her hairline while a filigree necklace glints at her collarbone above a white blouse. Her medium-brown skin is modeled in layered oils and her closed lips are a deep rose. The veil’s scalloped border frames her face, guiding our eyes to her quiet, self-possessed gaze. In 2022 Kauser presented her first solo museum exhibition at the Fort Smith Regional Art Museum, where works from the series (including Dupatta #10) connected immigrant stories across Arkansas audiences. British-born and now based in Northwest Arkansas, Kauser often describes her practice as a dialogue between her parents’ textile world and her own immigrant journey: portraiture that invites viewers “to examine each thread, its imperfections and uniqueness,” and to recognize the women whose beauty and labor sustain community.

Lahore has artists. What it lacks is scaffolding. A new show explores identity, absence, and radical curation.

The Extinguished Flame by Abdur Rahman Chughtai (Pakistani) - Watercolor on paper / 1920s - Fukuoka Asian Art Museum (Japan) #womeninart #art #watercolorart #artwork #PakistaniArtist #PakistaniArt #FukuokaAsianArtMuseum #福岡アジア美術館 #womensart #AbdurRahmanChughtai #Chughtai #Ghalib #MirzaGhalib #poetry
This watercolor on paper painting by esteemed Pakistani artist Abdur Rahman Chughtai shows a scene from a poem by celebrated 19th century Urdu poet Mirza Ghalib about a woman who continues to wait for her lover even after the light from the candle has extinguished. Golden moths are falling over the woman who is reclined in front of a doorway on a thin flat beneath mattress beneath a dark tall gold candle stand. The motif of burnt moths which went too close to fire often appears in Persian literature and paintings to symbolize the fragility of passionate love. Abdur Rehman Chughtai is a Pakistani painter who worked in Lahore around the time the city was still in the territory of British India. He established his original style by fusing different ways of expression including the tradition of Bengali School led by Abanindranath Tagore, Indian miniature painting, modern Japanese painting, and Art Nouveau. Using fluid colors and elegant lines which are the characteristics of the "wash technique" of Bengali School, he made a range of delicate poetic paintings of Hindu and Buddhist myths, historical figures in Islam, and Urdu and Persian poetry. He is considered to be "the first significant modern Muslim artist from Pakistan," and the "national artist of Pakistan." On Pakistan's independence day in 1951, he produced a set of 9 stamps, better known as 'Chughtai Art set'. At that time, this set was considered as the most beautiful stamps of the world. Poet Mirza Asadullah Beg Khan, commonly known as Mirza Ghalib, is widely regarded as one of the greatest poets in the Urdu language. He also produced a significant body of work in Persian. Ghalib's poetry often addresses existential struggle, sorrows, and socio-political disturbances, particularly the decline of the Mughal Empire. Even thought he spent most of his life in poverty, his work remains popular not only in the Indian subcontinent but also among the Hindustani diaspora around the world.
