| 关于此艺术家 | |
Contemporary painting appears to be regenerating itself following the last 25 years during which Conceptual Art has dominated the establishment-endorsed avant-garde. The allure of Dada and materials spawned by new technologies appear, however, to be wearing thin, as evident not just in my practice in oils on canvas, but also in the rebirth of the Perso-Indic miniature here in Pakistan, as well as other historic portals to craftsmanship, such as the new Mannerism of John Currin in New York or the appropriation of Spanish Baroque in Jenny Saville’s body of work. |

| 教育程度与个人自传 | |
| Asim Butt is a subversive South Asian artist who paints, sculpts, and has an interest in graffiti and printmaking. He got his first degree in Social Sciences from the Lahore University of Management Sciences which gave him analytical skills and exposure to a wide range of literature most art students never have the chance to dissect. He then went on to do his Ph.D. in History at UC Davis in California but abandoned that course of study two years into it when he participated in a group show mounted at the San Francisco Arts Commission Gallery in March 2002 with Rigo '02 and LYRIC. He then returned to enroll in a B.F.A. in Painting in Karachi. This allowed him to finally pursue the degree he had wanted since he left the Li Po Chun United World College where he had thrown himself into painting at the age of 16. Since he has been back in his home town, he has participated in group shows in Karachi and Lahore and painted two murals in the environs of the shrine to the eighth-century Sufi saint Abdullah Shah Ghazi. The mazaar is visited by scores of people each day and the footpaths around it home to many of Karachi?s homeless, including beggars, transsexuals and drug addicts. While the first mural titled "5 Ways to Kill a Man" inspired by Edwin Brock's poem of the same title was about America's Shock and Awe campaign in Iraq, the second was about the glue-sniffing children Butt encountered while painting "5 Ways". This gave the artist the opportunity to engage in hundreds of conversations about war and drug use as well as giving him insight into the visual perception of the most disadvantaged groups of society in a country where public art is limited to martial monuments. Both murals have since been whitewashed by city authorities. Butt is a card-carrying member of the anti-Dadaist Stuckist movement begun in England. He also writes art criticism for various Pakistani publications. In 2005 he held an open studio where he showed recent work as well never-before shown work from 1994 when he first began painting in oils. Following this, he did three interactive performative pieces one of which sought to claim the museum as a lived space, getting him banned from the Mohatta Palace Museum. Most recently, in December 2006, he graduated with a distinction from the Indus Valley School of Art and Architecture, Karachi. Since then he has done a chalking at Karachi's The Second Floor, participated in three group shows "13 Satellites" (Lahore, April 2007) and "Emerging Talent" (Karachi, May 2007) and "Sohni Dharti" curated as part of the Shanaakht festival at the Karachi Arts Council in August 2007. Butt's show titled "Tableaux Noirs" up at Zenaini in the latter half of March was sold out. In June 2008 he exhibited a large canvas titled "Tryst" as part of "Art for Freedom" shown at Aicon Gallery, London followed by a group show at Karachi's Gallerie Sadequain at Frere Hall where he exhibited another large canvas titled "View from Bhopal House" in November 2008. His solo "Eyeing the Odds: Works from the Bhopal House Studio" shown at Khaas, Islamabad between April 28 and May 7, 2009 was the most recent exhibit. N.B. Asim Butt is in no way associated with other artists, architects, academics, wrestlers, or cricketers by the same name (including one educated at Darrington College, another trained at the NCA, the scholar who has done Urdu-English translations, the wrestler who wrestled on the team for the Pakistan Army, or the Cricketer who plays for Scotland). |
