SULEMAN AQEEL KHILJI – TRANSMISSION | نشریات
2026-06-08Dreamlike and spectral in quality, the figurative paintings of Suleman Aqeel Khilji’s exhibition expresses the indeterminate nature of memory and the passing of time. Painting on linen, found book covers and used cigarette packets, the artist further proposes recollection as provisional, composite and subject to interference. Drawing on ‘remembrances’ of his life in Quetta, Lahore, and the flickering light of train journeys through the Balochistan countryside, Khilji’s paintings understand landscape as vulnerable to the distortions of time and distance. His figures, meanwhile, appear as if to occupy a nether realm, neither resolving into identifiable individuals nor fully dissolving into the hazy ground of the pictorial field.
