About the Artist
Imran Qureshi is a highly influential Pakistani artist who has revitalized the ancient tradition of Mughal miniature painting by infusing it with contemporary relevance. His meticulous works, often on paper or directly on architectural surfaces, blend the exquisite detail and vibrant colors of traditional miniatures with bold, abstract gestures. Qureshi is particularly known for his striking installations where delicate floral motifs are juxtaposed with explosive, blood-red splatters, powerfully commenting on themes of violence, destruction, and resilience in his homeland and beyond. His art beautifully navigates the tension between beauty and brutality, tradition and modernity, inviting profound contemplation on the fragility and enduring spirit of life.
