“TO REMEMBER IS TO CREATE, AND, THEREFORE, TO REMEMBER IS TO BE A POET”
– Ocean Vuong

Irfan Channa’s graphite artworks provide a direct semblance to the lyricism of poetry and fineness of a visual artist. For him, poetry becomes a medium through which he revisits his spatial memories before translating them onto paper, a process that is much like the summoning of music but with his pencil’s strokes. Referring to Urdu poets such as Khaled Iqbal, Juan Eliya, Kalim Khan and Ali Qasim, he conjures up his memories of a not-so-forgotten past, into landscapes that translate written verses into a visual, introspective dialogue.

Channa's romanticised landscapes of riverbanks, lush trees, meadows and birds coursing through the night skies are moments of peace and introspection. Occasionally, channa inserts electric poles or paved roads in his open fields bringing the viewer back to reality, subtly reminding them of the consequences of meddling with nature in the name of progress and the subsequent loss nativity and identity.
