‘moon-faced girls’Mansur Aye’s artistic career of more than 40 years was marked by prolific productions. His first solo exhibition was held in 1964 in Arts Council Karachi and the last in 2007 at Indus Gallery, Karachi.
Over decades, his aesthetic creativity faithfully painted moon-faced girls in different guises and different sizes, and the spontaneous movements of his brush strokes continued to create and reflect their moods.
These were enhanced by the application techniques of the color and simple compositions, often dominated with linear gestural movements. The works were an amalgam of abstraction and expressionism and reflected artist’s love for the female gestures.
The focus on his canvas mainly remained on facial features and hair, with addition of a few ornaments, bird or moon.
