Our Soch
What's our ArtSoch?
We’re a Lahore based art gallery with both online and studio presence. With years of experience, our curators have organized extravagant shows all over Pakistan and abroad. We aim to promote Pakistani art and artists who produce artwork to fit into modern spaces. We are about celebrating Pakistani Artists and Art. Our Soch (Urdu for thought, view of point, mentality, or approach) is to introduce our shining artist globally. We provide personalized services for our clients with a gallery display of an exquisite collection of modern and contemporary artwork. We also acquire artwork for art collectors and organizations.
Gallery vision
ArtSoch looks forward to practicing and expanding forms of curating through introducing a new paradigm of engaging the public into art events. We aim to bring cultural diversity through collaborations and bringing knowledge forth through art talks and workshops.
The gallery seeks to highlight interdisciplinary, enquiry and context-based art exhibitions through experiments and research’ led curatorial projects. We intend to bring multiplicity and public dialogue while addressing the complex and ever-changing social and cultural scenarios of the world.
We look forward to find and create opportunities for passionate artists in their region.
Founding vision
It started with a Soch. Art is the concrete representation of our subtlest feelings that needs the right audience for appreciation. This is why ArtSoch was built for upcoming and well-established artists to display their work in an environment that knows art the best.
We believe that artwork needs a display so it can find its appreciators. Our team of art connoisseurs holds exhibitions with creations by various artists proficient in their own form of display. This creates awareness about an exquisite collection of modern and contemporary oeuvre from all over Pakistan.
