The artworks include around 100 paintings of Jimmy Engineer centered on Pakistan's history and its independence, the rich architecture of Pakistan and its similarities with world architecture, the landscape of Pakistan as well as peace and harmony.
There are 500,000 prints of his works in private collections in over 60 countries around the world. His art has been internationally acclaimed, particularly his depiction of Pakistan's Independence in 1947.
"The exhibition shows not only Pakistan's artworks, but also the friendship between Pakistan and China. Art has no boundary, and it belongs to everyone," said Jimmy Engineer.
Many artists from China and Pakistan attended the opening ceremony of the Pakistan-themed exhibition. The exhibition will last from March 22 to March 28.
