Title: Imran Qureshi
Description: At first glance it looks like blood. Big, red smears and small, red spatters fill the canvases, calling to mind an abandoned battlefield, where nothing but the trail of blood remains. But if you look closely, you will discover that there is more to the blood-red colour explosions than meets the eye. ... but if you look closely, you will discover that there is more to the blood-red colour explosions than meets the eye. In the exhibition 'Idea of Landscape' Imran Qureshi explores the relationship between hope and fear, creation and destruction, life and death. These elements are in some way contrasts, but they also go hand in hand. All of them are present in Qureshi's works - depending on the eye of the beholder. If you see the works from a distance, the blood dominates, but if you step closer, the blood transforms into meticulous flower formations. The works therefore symbolise life and death at the same time.
