Toronto: Pakistan’s Consul-General in Toronto Mr. Imran Ahmed Siddiqui inaugurated the paintings exhibition of famous Pakistani artist and philanthropist Mr. Jimmy Engineer at the Mindshare Art Center in Toronto.
In his address to the guests attending the exhibition, Mr. Siddiqui paid glowing tributes to the legendary artist and said, “Jimmy Engineer is known not only for his art but also for his humanitarian works.”
He added, “His epic depiction of the tragic cross-border mass migration during the creation of Pakistan, capturing the fear and anguish, as well as happiness on the faces of refugees, is one of the greatest pieces of art by a Pakistani artist. Jimmy is an acclaimed international artist whose other thesis is the amalgamation of architecture flowing from varied traditions of the Western, Islamic and South Asian art.”
A large number of people, dignitaries from the world of art, architecture and numerous cultural backgrounds, families and the youth, inspired by the works and popularity of Jimmy Engineer attended the week-long exhibition.
