Biography
Imran Qureshi (b. Hyderabad, Pakistan 1972) has become one of the leading figures in developing the “Contemporary Miniature” aesthetic. His practice combines traditional motifs, symbolism, and ornamentation from the Moghul tradition with conceptual thought and contemporary abstract painting. His work is strongly marked by the reality that surrounds him in Pakistan and by current social themes, as well as by the confrontation with global issues, such as the relationship between western and Muslim cultures, religion, gender roles, terrorism, and the politics of war. These concerns form a subtle political discourse in his works of art.
