This is the first monograph devoted to Lahore-based artist Fahd Burki, covering a decade of his works on paper and sculptures.

'Fahd Burki's art can leave one feeling uncertain.  Through conceptually rigorous, formally exact and precisely executed, his paintings, drawings and sculptures stubbornly insist on ambiguity. Whether narrative scenes or flattened icons, his images often lack a background; without a specific cultural frame or spatial context to help locate them, they hover in an atopia or, rather a dystopia of infinite reference, outside of time and history. Burki draws on sources that span various histories, geographies and cultures including the mythologies and iconographies of aboriginal and indigenous cultures, especially Native American, ukiyo-e prints and manga from Japan, Eastern European animation, science fiction, and other strands of contemporary popular concepts and terms borrowed from anthropology and archaeology, mythology and folklore, existentialism and psychoanalysis.' - from Uncertain Icons, Murtaza Vali,
