Shahzad Baloch
Shahzad Baloch (born 1997, Karachi) is a fine artist who graduated from the Arts Council Institute of Arts and Crafts (ACIAC) in 2023. Working primarily with oil on canvas, his practice draws from his everyday surroundings, treating ordinary moments as sites of visual intensity and emotional resonance. Through this perspective, he approaches each moment as a potential work of art, illuminated by shifting light and vibrant color.
Baloch has participated in several group exhibitions, including Silver Lining curated by Sir Muhammad Zeeshan and Scheherezade Junejo at Full Circle Gallery (2023); Art Speak at Mainframe the Gallery (2024); Alumni at Arts Council of Karachi (2024); Stars of Tomorrow at PAF Gallery (2024); Asli Contemporary Vol. II at Numaish Gah Gallery (2024); Broadcast Vol. I at O Art Space (2024); Spotless Mind curated by Sir Muhammad Zeeshan at Mainframe the Gallery (2024); and Rose Water, a four-person exhibition curated by Sir Muhammad Zeeshan at Sanat Initiative (2024).
More recent exhibitions include Emerging Talent at VM Art Gallery (2025) and Holding Light at Dawani Gallery (2025). He was also a selected participant of the Arjumand Painting Award and took part in a one-week art retreat in Islamabad in 2025.
