Published by Landfall Press, this print is signed by the artist and is in very good condition. Qureshi was trained in Mughal miniature painting in Lahore, Pakistan. “She has developed a rich, contemporary visual language featuring motifs from the past, ideas from the present, and techniques from both. Isolated female figures foreground layered imagery appropriated from colonial photography, patterns from textiles, silhouettes and botanical paintings. While presenting history as a collection of overlapping fragments, Qureshi reveals complex stereotypes, which are in turn rearranged to construct new narratives.” -Quote is from Sutton Gallery
