Lubna Agha
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lubna Agha is a South Asian artist.
She has exhibited in art museums and galleries throughout the world - in her homeland, Pakistan, as well as in Britain, Japan, Jordan, Switzerland, and the United States. Agha's latest paintings draw inspiration from Asian and Islamic architecture and from traditional Muslim crafts such as woodcarving, metalworking, and textile production.
Her work is part of the permanent collections at the Asian Collection at Bradford Museum, UK, National Council of the Arts, Pakistan, and the Jordan National Gallery of Fine Arts, Jordan.
A book about the artist by Marcella Sirhandi entitled Lubna Agha:Points of Reference was published by The Foundation of Museum of Modern Art, Pakistan in 2007.[1]
Agha lives and works in Brookline, Massachusetts, U.S.A.
