Lahore Lovelies
Don't get excited! The recently opened Aicon (Arts India Contemporary ... er ... on, as in icon) Gallery in Heddon Street, London, W1B 4BU, will show Lahore Lovelies: Contemporary Miniatures by Talha Rathore and Hasnat Mehmood from 22 June to 15 July 2007. As I can't see anything lovely about the boring piece shown here - Talha Rathore's The Heart Settles II (I thought it was a dead slug) - I'm not sure whether the title refers to the artists or to their works. My idea of a miniature is a miniature portrait or maybe a small landscape on an antique pot. Anything else is a computer icon. Does the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition still have a room of miniatures or has this art form died since my last visit?

I can't say this is doing much for me, what the heck is it? Is there some textural painting quality we are not able to see? In fact I think it is rather horrid and I don't often say that about other artwork.
I'll stick with my dead-slug theory. If you click the title link to visit the original ArtDaily story, you'll find a larger version of this graphic, but it doesn't help at all, although, if you look very closely, you can see some tiny text, like a street map in the background. (?)
