The 2002 retrospective at Mohatta Palace Museum in Karachi is considered a seminal moment for Sadequain in Pakistan. The exhibition consisted of a great many important paintings and drawings by the Artist, and was accompanied by a detailed and image filled catalogue, in which this painting is illustrated.
Tribrid V was executed by Sadequain the year after he returned from Paris and is from a series of paintings where the Artist amalgamates three features into one. It is painted in his characteristic dark colour palette on a white background and was acquired directly from the Artist by Ahmed and Rukhsana Hameedi.
