Pakistan's first 3D street artist seeks government support
SIALKOT: A local 3D street artist has sought government support and patronage for promotion of 3D art in the country.
Twenty six-year-old Waqas Ahmad said 3D art was becoming popular around the world by the day and the government should pay attention to it.
Talking to Dawn on Tuesday, Ahmad said 3D art was different and much costly from fine arts. He said the expenses in making a 3D painting ranged between Rs20,000 and Rs25,000, adding there was a dire need for promotion of 3D art in all government and private educational institutions enabling the young generation to be on a par with technologically advanced nations.
Ahmad further said he had been involved with 3D art since 2010 when a UK-based animator, Abdul Rehman, had encouraged him to explore new vistas of this form of art in Pakistan; and that was when he introduced 3D art in Pakistan.
