muzzumil ruheel
Muzzumil Ruheel is a visual artist working from Karachi, Pakistan. His practice investigates language, perception, and what happens in the space between observation and understanding.
Working across painting, installation, text, sculpture, and augmented reality, he has explored how language functions when it meets power — when it is suppressed, when it is misread, when it dissolves entirely. More recently, his work has turned toward questions of interiority: what happens when we pause, when we are still, when we meet ourselves without the noise of the world interfering.
He does not claim to have answers. His work poses questions. It presents what he has observed and invite the viewer to look closely and think for themselves.
His practice is ongoing. It continues.
Ruheel studied calligraphy under master Khurshid Gohar Qalam in Lahore and holds degrees in Political Science, Journalism and Literature, and in Fine Art from Beaconhouse National University, Lahore. Over the years he has developed a practice that is both rooted in his context and far-reaching in its scope.
He has presented solo exhibitions across Pakistan, the UK, Germany, Dubai, India, and the USA. His work has been shown at major national and international platforms including the Young Moscow Biennale, Colombo Art Biennale, Lahore Biennale, Karachi Biennale, Cairo Documenta, Darmstadt Museum, Kaladham Museum, WIP Konsthall, Museo Diocesano Carlo Maria Martini, Kunstraum Kreuzberg/Bethanien, Universität der Künste, Herbert Art Gallery and Museum, Glynn Vivian Art Gallery, Art Dubai, and the India Art Fair.
His works are part of important private and institutional collections worldwide, and his practice has been featured in leading art publications.
