Inspired by 16th century calligraphy art, Javed Qamar’s alphabets in Arabic are very fine compared to those of his contemporaries. The use of antique colours combined with silver leafing takes the viewer to the past, leaving them with a sense of excitement. His painting leads the viewer to the depths in a slower process, especially in the Islamic Dream Land series; the artist has succeeded in bringing in all the possible features of the overall idea and the ideology of the subject. Javed Qamars work was displayed along with artists like Ismail Gulgee, Rashid Ali, Mashkoor Raza, Rind, Farrukh Shahab, G.Farooqi and Riaz Rafi in an exhibition held at Pakistan High commission in the UK.
