...hoping a reborn aurochs could help restore the European countryside to a more natural state. To that end, the group would eventually like to replace the domesticated cattle that currently graze in Holland's nature reserves with the recreated wild cattle. "The aurochs was part of an ecosystem," says Henri Kerkdijk, manager of the project. "If you want to recreate the flora of the ecosystem, you also have to recreate the fauna."

In swaths of deep blues and thick yellows reminiscent of Chughtai's watercolors, which themselves echo the primal Fauvism of Henri Rousseau, Saeed paints a semiclad man surreally clutching a large fish (The Principle of Delicacy). He also draws two men in romantic embrace, one with the fly of his jeans suggestively gaping, in A Book of Imaginary Companions...
