Tariq Gill

Selected Recent Works by Tariq Gill.

The Recent Works collection presents a selection of artworks created by contemporary Pakistani artist Tariq Gill between 2022 and 2026, reflecting the continuing evolution of a practice developed over nearly five decades. Working across painting, drawing, and mixed media, Gill constructs imaginative visual narratives where human figures, birds, animals, and symbolic forms coexist within psychologically charged and dreamlike environments.

Many of the works in this collection have been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions at leading contemporary art galleries in Lahore, including Kaleido Kontemporary, O Art Space, and Muse Art Gallery. These exhibitions have introduced different phases of the artist’s evolving visual language to collectors, curators, art professionals, and the wider public.

Rather than illustrating a single story, these artworks invite multiple interpretations, encouraging viewers to reflect on memory, identity, transformation, solitude, hope, and the complex relationship between humanity and nature. Through expressive mark-making, layered surfaces, and symbolic imagery, each composition balances personal experience with universal themes while maintaining a distinctive artistic voice.

This collection offers insight into Tariq Gill’s most recent artistic explorations and serves as an evolving archive of his contemporary practice. Visitors are invited to explore each artwork individually to discover its medium, dimensions, conceptual background, exhibition history, and availability.

This fine art collection includes original paintings, drawings, and mixed media artworks that reflect Tariq Gill’s distinctive contribution to contemporary figurative art in Pakistan.
