Born and raised in Lahore, Faiza Butt has emerged as one of Pakistan’s foremost contemporary artists, creating ripples internationally with her iconic, pop culture inspired images. Faiza was trained at National College of Arts in Lahore and at Slade School of Fine Art in London. She currently lives in London with her husband Richard and their two children Zack and Layla. In a genre of her own, her art pays homage to the miniaturist tradition, juxtaposed with current and controversial themes that explore issues of politics, gender and identity. Eroticised images of men from Northern Pakistan, meant to challenge stereotypical global perceptions, are a recurrent subject.
