"Power in City" by Rahman Zada

Rahman Zada is a visual artist from Swabi, currently based between Islamabad and Swabi. He completed his BFA from the National College of Arts, Lahore, in 2018, and an MA in Art and Design from Beaconhouse National University, Lahore, in 2022.

His interdisciplinary practice explores history, materiality, contemporary life, and cross-cultural boundaries. Working with objects, images, and layered materials, Rahman treats artifacts as symbolic records of routine, memory, time, and shared human experience.

His work creates new viewpoints by archiving traces of the past within the present. He has exhibited in Pakistan and internationally, participated in the Vasl Artists’ Collective Taaza Tareen 10 residency, received Arjumand Painting Award recognition, and has work in the Ambiance Boutique Art Hotels collection.

For collectors, Rahman Zada’s work offers material depth, cultural memory, and contemporary conceptual strength.
