Laila Rahman’s solo exhibition, Witness – Shahadat, opens on Tuesday, December 9th, 2025, from 4 – 7 pm at Canvas Gallery.
” My work emerges at the intersection of the garden, the pomegranate and the moon. I imagine gardens before time on earth : the primordial gardens of earth , the Garden of Eden, and the tender garden of childhood and innocence….
Watching over these scenes is the silent moon.The moon in the role of Kiraman Katibin, the Honourable Scribes, records the human condition between the states of uplift and despair as it travels on its orbital path.”
A Fulbright Scholar, Laila is a visual artist and art educator based in Lahore, Pakistan, with a BFA from the National College of Arts ( NCA ) Lahore and Central St Martins College of Art and Design , London & a Masters from the Slade School of Fine Art, London.
Laila is currently the Head of Printmaking & Digital Media at NCA.
Her work is in multiple public collections globally, including the V&A and UCL Museums, UK.
The exhibition remains open daily until Thursday, December 18th, 2025, from 11 am – 7 pm ( closed Sundays )
