OVADA Art Talks - Saad Qureshi

About

As part of our ongoing series of informal weekday morning talks, we invite professionals working in the creative industries to talk about their projects and contemporary practices. The series provides insights into specific cross-disciplinary areas of the arts and culture sector. The talks are held online via  ‘ZOOM‘ – a widely used video communication platform.

Art Journalist Romina Provenzi will this week be joined by Artist and Sculptor Saad Qureshi to discuss his fascinating work. Saad Qureshi’s practice draws on the ineffability of lived experience: the processes by which we interpret objects and landscapes, and how memory itself processes them over time. His sculptures give form to the ideas or stories by which we give meaning to human existence.

“Qureshi has created his own uncanny world of apparently ‘real’ things that confound the apparent logics of time, space, scale and material. Through his great technical virtuosity… he presents us with his own special world of unconstrained imaginative potential and invites us to participate on our own terms.” Martin Kemp, Professor of Art History at Oxford University
