Born in Kairana, Uttar Pradesh, India, Jamil Naqsh was a leading Pakistani artist based in London in the latter years of his life. "In Pakistan he is probably most loved for his images of pigeons, or of women and pigeons combined. These birds have a deep personal meaning for him” says art historian, critic & writer Edward Lucie-Smith. "Naqsh re-absorbs Ingres, and re-forges links to the sensuous, erotic tradition that plays so large a part in Mughal miniature painting."

Exhibited & Published, 'Jamil Naqsh - A Retrospective', Albemarle Gallery, 1-23 July 2011
