About The Artist
Born in a small city in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sabir Nazar began learning painting and drawing from his father before he could tie his shoelaces. He later left architecture in his third year and joined Fine Arts at the National College of Arts.
His paintings revolve around socio-political commentary with indigenous symbolism, and his work has appeared in several solo and group exhibitions. His watercolors were selected for the International Watercolor Masters show in 2022 and the National Watercolor Exhibition in May 2021.
Alongside his studio practice, he has worked as an editorial cartoonist for The Friday Times, Express Tribune and Independent Urdu Pakistan, and has contributed to rights organizations including HRCP Pakistan, IRC Lahore, UNDP, CWS, ActionAid, AASHA, DCHD, Oxfam and UNICEF.
His recognitions include the Editor's Pick award at the South Asian cartoonists' conference in Nepal, a painting award from the Punjab Artists Association in Lahore in 2019, and a 2014 fellowship at the National Endowment for Democracy, where he also showcased his cartoons at AAEC in San Francisco.
