Press Release

Self-taught artist Mohammed Yasin Saddique, who has been painting since the age of 16, has allowed travel to inspire him in his art. His paintings of not only the artistic and cultural centers of Rome, Paris and New York but also Dubai City and Jhelum City, Pakistan, suggest an urban experience distilled down to basics: Saddique transforms the city into cubist grids invested with multilayered shading. Saddique’s cityscapes also suggest stained glass. Both opaque and crystalline, each visual interpretation lives within its own unique range of colors and moods--very much like cities themselves. His current series of facial studies, influenced by an exploration of Pakistan, adds a primitivist style to his oeuvre. Saddique aims to capture “the story of anguish and hurt hidden behind a face,” much as a city can reveal its history in the patterns Saddique uncovers. Mohammed Yasin Saddique’s unique and potent works are in private collections in England, Austria, Italy, Germany, America, France, Belgium, India, and Pakistan.
