IMRAN QURESHI

Award-winning Pakistani artist Imran Qureshi is known for his unique aesthetic which combines the motifs, symbolism and ornamental techniques of 16th- and 17th-century Mughal miniature painting with current issues and the formal language of contemporary abstract painting. For the first time, he will direct a three-week course in miniature painting at the Summer Academy.
For his first major London commission, Qureshi presents "Where the Shadows are so Deep", a series of exquisite miniature paintings, that opens in the Barbican/The Curve on 18 February. Still on view is his impressive solo presentation "Idea of Landscape" at Kunsten in Aalborg (DK), including two large site-specific works.
