Pakistani artist Imran Qureshi’s practice revives 16th century Mughal miniature painting. Qureshi’s work merges traditional motifs, symbols, and techniques with the visual language of abstraction to consider contemporary socio-political events affecting Pakistan and the world more broadly. Combining gestural abstraction with refined ornamental details, his practice shifts between figurative and abstract works on paper, monumental paintings, videos, and site-specific installations. Qureshi’s hybrid methodology often features gold-leaf and the color red as signature elements of his work, signaling the relationship between the celestial plane (immortality) and the human body (mortality).
