IMRAN QUERSHI | Idea Of Landscape | Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac | Paris | 2015

From 12 September to 17 October 2015 Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac presents the first exhibition of Imran Qureshi in the Marais gallery space. Qureshi, who lives and works in Lahore, Pakistan, was born in 1972. His unique style combines the motifs, symbolism, and ornamental techniques of Mughal miniature painting with contemporary conceptual approaches. The exhibition 'Idea of Landscape' brings together a series of paintings, works on paper, as well as a video, which explore the dialogue between life and death. Leaves and nature represent the idea of life, whilst the colour red (that appears at first glance like real blood) represents death. The red also reminds Qureshi of the situation today in his country, Pakistan, and the world, where violence is almost a daily occurrence. “But somehow, people still have hope,” Qureshi says “hence the flowers that emerge from the red paint in my work represent the hope that—despite everything—the people sustain somehow, their hope for a better future.” For further information about the exhibition please visit http://ropac.net/exhibition/idea-of-l...
