Report by Santanu Ganguly, New Delhi: An exhibition of paintings titled 'Nuqoosh-e-Fitrat' by Delhi based artists and Prof. of Fine Arts at Jamia Millia Islamia, Ghazali Moinuddin was inaugurated by Mr. Salman Khurshid (Minister of External Affairs, Govt. of India) at Visual Art Gallery, India Habitat Centre, New Delhi. Sr. art critic Keshav Malik, Filmmaker Deepak Tanwar, Haroon Rasheed, Dr. Sabiha Khan, Mamoon Nomani and many others were also present there.
The strokes in Ghazali Moinuddin’s canvasses are born out of a tube of acrylic and his deft fingers. He says, what is once created on canvas cannot be remade the exact same way, even by the person who makes the painting. About his future plans, he says, my dream is to display my paintings abroad, probably in London.
Salman Khurshid was impressed with the works of Ghazali, he said I'm also a art lover and when there is a talk of nature or its admiration, nothing can beat it. Ghazali has tried his best to bring the beauty of nature through his works. I wish him all the best and hope all the art lovers will like his work.
Keshav Malik applauded the efforts of Ghazali and said, here is work that does not serve solely as a means of expressing the painter’s admiration of nature. Instead, he feels strongly that painting has a task of its own to accomplish in the service of imaginative life. The artist has developed a style which is in keeping with the thirst of mankind’s inner needs. Here there is a greater and starker simplicity, which is expressive, natural seeming, and free from ornamental impedimenta of any kind. In this way the socio-cultural function of painting is extended. Instead of relying on the fortuitous, painting is given content by artistic values belonging to all time, and of a significance at the best of times. Well it is in some such ways all good artists work. In some of his showings the painter applies new possibilities directly, without any justification or a literary content. In these paintings he breaks with the descriptive, the anecdotal, and the atmospheric. Pure forms in their elementary capacity, completely visible in their stiff, vertical or horizontal seams and layers are the materials with which the compositions are their rhythmically constructed at their chosen best, he added.
