Description

On the occasion of her first major solo exhibition, charting the Pakistan-born Australian artist’s 30-year career and her finely crafted contemporary miniature paintings.

Born in 1973, Nusra Latif Qureshi is a Melbourne-based artist best known for her finely crafted contemporary miniature paintings.

Drawing on both historical and contemporary references, Qureshi works in the space between tradition and experimentation, in a practice that extends to collage and photography. Born in Pakistan, she trained at the National College of Arts in Lahore, where she learnt the painting traditions that had been brought to the Mughal courts from Persia in the 16th century and developed in the region.

Publishing on the occasion of the artist’s first major solo exhibition, Nusra Latif Qureshi: Birds in Far Pavilions, held at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney, this book traces Qureshi’s 30-year career, from her early paintings in Lahore, in which she began to reimagine traditional forms, to their zenith beyond the page and into 3D sculpture with a new commissioned installation.

Richly illustrated with over 100 works and historic archival imagery/photography, and accompanied by insightful essays by Art Gallery of New South Wales exhibition curator Matt Cox and director Michael Brand, academic Sugata Ray, arts writer Julie Ewington, curator Esa Epstein, and philosopher and psychoanalyst Robyn Adler.
