Miss Shahina Salim, a Fine Art postgraduate from Sindh University and renowned textile designer, said the young generation of our artists, it seem, made no effort to explore the cultural heritage of the Indus Valley and confined themselves to traditional courses.
She was commenting on the Art Exhibition, organised by Mehran Art Council in connection with the Independence Day celebrations.
She said: "Sindh has an age-old treasure of art designs and craft and what is needed is its exposure in the world through different medium of arts."
"Discovery of earthenware and other objects at Moen-jo-Daro and other ancient places is a witness of aesthetic sense of the people of the Indus Valley," she said, adding, "the object of the priest king and design on his dress further indicates their taste for designs apparel."
She further said: "There are thousands of designs on Ajrak, which need improvement in designs, colour harmony and exposure."
She said tombs and mausoleums of rulers and saints, Chowkundi and Thatta graveyards were rich in floral arts and their development in line of modern trends would create a lot of interest in the western world.
