Design With Chon (DWC), a boutique design studio with defined niches in (1) visual communication, (2) event design and (3) interiors. Each of these industries are huge in themselves, but DWC has an understanding that bridges them together — color, balance, texture, order and a good eye for design. DWC’s goal is to achieve good design in all its various forms, whether it’s from the branding of your business to saying “I do” to transforming a dwelling in your home. Let me, “Chon," be your go-to person for good design, color, great photography and art. A balanced environment makes you feel good, and I am here to inspire your surroundings.

Oil on canvas

This painting belongs to the "studies" made by the artist in Auvers. It served as a preparatory work for a larger painting, in double-square format. The artist was anxious to distinguish these preparatory canvases from his works that could be shown to the public, the "paintings" themselves.*

From the exhibition

Van Gogh in Auvers-sur-Oise

(October 2023 to February 2024)

Vincent Van Gogh arrived in Auvers-sur-Oise on May 20th 1890 and died there on July 29th following a suicide attempt. Although the painter only spent a little over two months in Auvers, the period was one of artistic renewal with its own style and development, marked by the psychic tension resulting from his new situation as well as by some of his greatest masterpieces.

Sorely tried by the various crises suffered in Arles and then at the asylum in Saint-Rémy, Van Gogh decided to settle near Paris and his brother Theo in an attempt to find fresh creative energy. The choice of Auvers had much to do with the presence there of Dr Gachet, a physician specializing in the treatment of melancholia who was also a friend of the impressionists, a collector and an amateur painter. Van Gogh moved to the Ragout Inn in the village centre and explored every aspect of the new world in front of him, while struggling with the many anxieties connected with his health, his relationship with his brother, and his place in the art world.

No exhibition has previously been exclusively devoted to this final yet crucial stage in his career. In just two months, the artist produced 74 paintings and 33 drawings, including some iconic works: Portrait of Dr Paul Gachet, The Church at Auvers, and Wheatfield with Crows. Comprising some forty paintings and around twenty drawings, the exhibition will highlight this period thematically: first landscapes featuring the village, portraits, still lifes, and landscapes depicting the surrounding countryside. It will also present a series of paintings in elongated double-square format, unique in Van Gogh’s body of work.

IBA - Institute of Business Administration, City Campus, Karachi, Pakistan.

At the time I was at IBA - Institute of Business Administration, Karachi, Pakistan, it was afternoon, the light being very harsh but at the same time creating interesting shadows and patterns. This attracted me to first time turn on the “Noir” effect on my cellphone and shoot these.

I found it quite easy as I could view it in monochrome. I always say doing black and white on film is very difficult.
