Nusra Latif Qureshi

Birds in Far Pavilions

Art Gallery of New South Wales
Saturday 9 NovemberSunday 15 June

This is the first major solo exhibition of Melbourne-based artist Nusra Latif Qureshi, whose intriguing and allegorical paintings offer space for reflection, for dialogue and for dreaming.

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.

This exhibition 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. It includes the subtle yet powerful suite of paintings for which Qureshi received the Bulgari Art Award in 2019, which speak to her experience of moving to Australia in 2001 and offer a window into the rich and complex history of Pakistan while bearing witness to the conflicts and consequences of colonialism.

At once beautiful and challenging, Qureshi’s works bear witness to the indelible presence of the past and the persistence of trauma, dislocation and loss, coupled with the uncertainties of love. In her meticulously painted vignettes, solitary female figures frequently float among fields of colour, quietly asserting their presence.

Throughout the exhibition, works from the Art Gallery of New South Wales collection link the traditions of commissioning and collecting art to Qureshi’s practice.
