Shah Nawaz Chief Artist PTBB ........................................ALIVE- ‘‘Having life ‘‘ not dead or inanimate; still in existence, force, operation; active; knowing or realizing the exisstence of; sensitive; marked by alertness and activity The above is Webster’s definition of a word, while at the same time, for me, it is about the most accurate way I can think to describe a man, SHAFIQUE FAROOQI is truly, alive. Whether this quality causes him to be an artist or whether being an artist deeps him "ALIVE’’ I know not. I do know that it is a rare privilege to spend time in the company of such a man of the countless ways the creativeness, talent and life within him chooses OT show itself, his art; the calligraphic paintings, watercolors and his land scopes, seems to do it strikingly. From the movement of his brush strokes to the range and variety of moods created by the choice of colors, one has to life by doing so. It is this city’s distinct honor to have, even for a brief period, the work of so gifted a man in its midst.
