Description
This painting captures a street singer of Lahore deep in song, wandering the streets of the walled city. In his brightly colored silken gown, he is as much a symbol of the tradition and culture as the old shops with their jutting wooden platforms, the old Havelis with their forecourts and latticed windows. A city of storytellers- stories told through songs of legendary lovers, epic battles, folklore, and heroisms. As he walks through the concentric streets of charismatic Old Lahore, the echoes of his music pulsate, as his heartbeat, ricocheting from the narrow gullies, reaches far above the kite-filled skies, connecting him to the heavenly city of Lahore. Simple and honest expressions, carry an understanding of life’s enlightened truths, passed down to him through generations as his song echoes through time.
