From August 26 to 31, 2025, Royal Noor Gallery had the honor of hosting “The Holy Sinner”, a powerful exhibition celebrating the legendary Sadequain, a pioneer of modern Pakistani art.
This exclusive showcase featured select works from the master’s private collection, offering a rare opportunity to experience the depth and brilliance of his artistic vision. Visitors explored the bold energy of his murals, the intricate flow of his calligraphy, and his iconic use of the cactus — a symbol of resilience, endurance, and creative struggle.
Through this visual journey, we revisited how Sadequain redefined the language of Islamic calligraphy, merging tradition with fearless modernity.
