A. R. Nagori (1939-), a socially aware painter, has always expressed his disgust at the injuries to which people mostly in rural areas are subjected to.

Bomb blasts, crime, dacoities, guns, heroin, Ojhri, Kalashnikov, rape etc. became new symbols of the alphabet. Nagori also repudiated the treatment meted out to the women in a series of paint entitled "Women of Myth and Reality".

Prof. A. R. Nagori (1939-), a socially aware painter, has always expressed his disgust at the injuries to which people mostly in rural areas are subjected to. He has been holding one-man exhibitions since 1958, always reacting strongly to social and political high-handedness to the common man. In one of his most powerful exhibitions held in 1986 at the Indus Gallery, Karachi, Nagori exposed 62 different awful national events which shook the conscience of the nation. Later on, in 1988 again at the Indus Gallery, Nagori blasted the evils of society by evolving new symbols for alphabet for children basing them on the events which took place in preceding two years. Bomb blasts, crime, dacoities, guns, heroin, Ojhri, Kalashnikov, rape etc. became new symbols of the alphabet. Nagori also repudiated the treatment meted out to the women in a series of paint entitled "Women of Myth and Reality". In the 1992 series of 40 paintings, it was again a process of social and political protest for the mute, bewildered and confused society which finds itself full of tears, shame, anguish and anger.
