Imran Qureshi shot to fame on winning the 2011 Sharjah Biennial prize for his poetic and political site-specific installation, "Blessings upon the Land of My Love."Though steeped in traditional Mughal miniature painting techniques, his work is resolutely contemporary and infuses sociopolitical concerns from his native Pakistan.With "Idea of a Landscape," the artist explores the dialogue between life and death, using leaves and nature to represent hope and life, and blood-red color throughout to represent the violence he observes on a daily basis.The exhibition runs at Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac until October 17.
