This publication is produced in the occasion of the solo exhibition of Pakistani artist Faiza Butt of the same title at Grosvenor Vadehra, London in October 2010.
Faiza Butt makes a contemporary countermark to the universal aspiration for superiority and leadership. This time her critique speaks through teasingly homoerotic and arrangements of men's own puissant and victorious potential. Her new series of work continues her characteristic illustration of instantly recognizable symbolic capital, much like the emblematic style of global advertising. Her pixellated Purdakht technique in primary colors replicates the familiar aesthetic of mass produced media images, pervading both East and West.
Includes plates and Faiza Butt's biography.
