Featuring Brandon Schaefer, Louis Szapary, Phoebe Stewart Carter and Saara Knapp
10 days, 4 artists, one exhibition. This is their journey.
Dastaangoi’s Plein air tour ended this past weekend, culminating in an exhibition at Dastaangoi Gallery in Islamabad. Presenting all the work created by these incredible 4 artists over the last 8 days in Hunza Valley. In the video below, you can view the artists journey and witness the locations that are brought to life in their paintings.
A special thank you to Roomy hotels for helping us facilitate this journey across the north so effortlessly.
We will be selling limited edition prints of each of the artworks from the exhibition, the catalogue can be found below.
Dastaangoi Gallery’s The North invites the viewer to witness the stories that Pakistan’s breathtaking landscapes and mountains hold. These stories showcase the effects that climate change is having on our natural environment - with glaciers that used to be present on most of these mountains slowly withering away, causing calamities both in Pakistan and beyond. But they also tell more personal stories, of love and perseverance, and of all the people that have come and gone, like our beloved Ali Sadpara and many others like him.
The North follows four incredible artists, Austrian painter Louis Szapary (@louis_szapary), Finnish-American painter Saara Knapp (@saarakart), British painter Phoebe Stewart Carter (@phoebestewartcarter), and American painter Brandon Schaefer (@schaeferart) along with the Dastaangoi team, to get a unique perspective around these stories.
The North is a first of its kind exhibition that will truly take you beyond the paint and move you in ways you did not anticipate.
Dastaangoi Gallery will be selling limited edition prints of these artworks, you can download the catalogue below and reach out to purchase. Delivering worldwide.
