Abstract
R.M. Naeem happens to be foremost among the young and ambitious artists of
Pakistan. Born and raised in a remote village of Mirpurkhas, Sindh, an abode
of diverse religious praxis and a richly interwoven culture. In the early phase
of his career, his experience as a painter remained limited to the depiction of
pictures and decorative designs on trucks, buses and cinema hoardings. This
was carried out at a workshop known as Jamil’s Art, in Mirpurkhas, under the
able guidance of Haji Syed Jamil Ahmad. Naeem said that “truck, rickshaw
and signboard paintings were a vital aspect of our culture which had died out
before our eyes. I belong to that class, and, I belong to the soil of this land,
where the cultural values take us to the depth of our own selves. I believe in
workmanship. And I believe in the truth of my own world and the world around
me as well.”(Naeem 2008)
