Ismail Gulgee awarded twice time ‘Pride of Performance, Sitara-e-Imtiaz’ and ‘Hilal-e-Imtiaz’. Gulgee was an award-winning, globally famous Pakistani artist born in Peshawar. He was a self-taught abstract painter and portrait painter. As portraitist, he painted the entire Afghan Royal Family. From about 1960 on, he was noted as an abstract painter influenced by the tradition of Islamic calligraphy and by the American “action painting” idiom.
Guljee’s exhibitions have mostly been available to few people. Keeping that in mind and high demand from public and lovers of his works, an art gallery for Guljee has been built in Clifton, Karachi near South City Hospital and Sea View Karachi. Guljee mostly painted for his own inspirations and vision. Although selected paintings are available for sale in Guljee art gallery. Guljee was last based in Boat Basin in Karachi. He has a son Amin Guljee. Ismail Guljee belongs to Shia Ismaili Agha Khani sect of Islam.
