Collage

A distinctive feature of Sadequain's artwork in the State Bank of Pakistan is the collection of collages, worked in wood and metal. He did it exclusively for the Bank. This kind of work by him is nowhere else to be seen. Sadequain made them especially to adorn and beautify the huge pillars of the vast Banking Hall of the SBP Karachi office's public dealing floor. On the background of wooden frames, Sadequain worked miracles twisting iron, copper and steel into artist's fertile imagination of figures of hope, aspiration and conquest. There are four of them done in mixed media of wood, copper, iron and steel and one done only in copper on wood.
