SHAHZAD ZAR IS PERHAPS THE LAST YOUNG ARTIST TO HAVE BEEN
GUIDED BY THAT MAN OF THE ARTS, S. ALI IMAM. WHEN THE ARTIST
FIRST APPROACHED IMAM HE WAS IN HIS TEENS,
A SELF-TAUGHT YOUNG MAN STRUGGLING TO TEACH
HIMSELF THE ART OF COLLAGE, MIXING ORGANIC MATERIALS AND
PAINT .IMAM WAS INTERESTED IN SHAZAD’S WORK AND IN HIS
DETERMINATION TO BE AN ARTIST. HE SENT HIM AWAY WITH ADVICE
AND SUGGESTIONS AND MONITORED HIS PROGRESS FROM THEN ON.
FOUR YEARS LATER IMAM FELT THE ARTIST WAS READY FOR AN
EXHIBITION AT THE PRESTIGIOUS INDUS GALLERY AND SHAHZAD ZAR
WAS LAUNCHED WITH A SOLO EXHIBITION IN
1999.
