Description

Wasi Haider is versatile artist whose work has encompassed explorations of subjects as varied as the Kamasutra, Fragrance, Faces, Time and Space and Calligraphy. In Time and Space, he explores the connections between the finite human existence within its finite human body, and the infinite universe, time and space. He invokes Sufi philosophy in his explorations of this subject, positing that while human existence is finite, the human mind can untangle infinite mysteries, beginning with the self and moving on to the universe, ultimately bringing us closer to the Divine. Wasi Haider has an enduring fascination with the human visage. He studies how faces reflect the effects life has on each of us, how we each react to the same events differently and how individual faces present those differences. His calligraphy is bold, vibrant, and contemporary, and it perfectly communicates the beauty and power of God’s word in a way that has an emotional, almost visceral impact on the viewer.
