Akram Spaul’s first exhibition was held in 1989. Now, with over 15 exhibitions to his credit in more than 21 years, he is going for solo shows. Themes of life and routine are explored with truthful and accurate depiction that contemporary life offers to the artist. Everyday activities are worthy subjects for him. He mostly paints and draw the lives and surroundings of the middle and lower classes, the ordinary and unadorned. He brings to attention the beauty that often is ignored in life around, especially the physical settings and material conditions. He focuses on accuracy of detail and colour.
