Saad Qureshi is a multidisciplinary artist whose works considers the collapse and revival of objects throughout the process of their creation. Using drawing, sculpture and installation, Qureshi constructs “mindscapes” drawn from both his own and other’s memoirs, which he translates into a visual language. As it is primarily informed by imagination, his work typically appears fragmented, unstable and distorted in its final form. Hovering in this way between construction and deconstruction, the work defies abstract description, but creates diverse and creative responses from viewers. The ideas and impressions that Qureshi’s work stimulates are fragile and fleeting; motifs take shape, fade and emerge again.
