LIKHAI, drawings by Kamil Khan Mumtaz opens on Tuesday April 27, 2021 at KOEL Gallery, Karachi

Prof. Kamil Khan Mumtaz, one of the senior most practicing architects from Lahore was trained at the Architectural Association, London.

Artist’s statement: “In my own journey as an architect, from modernity to tradition, I have been able to explore the possibilities of experiencing structure, form, light and space, using familiar materials, patterns and surface decoration, as the grounds for contemplation, and to become aware of a reality beyond the material, and beyond time and space. I have learned to work within the framework of a discipline of symmetries, and rhythms that reflect both the cosmic order and perfect balance underlying the apparent chaos of the universe.”
