Thank you to the brilliant Bob Chaundy for featuring Saad Qureshi in the latest edition of his Considering Art podcast - a trove of thoughtful and, indeed “considered” conversations with a wonderful array of artists - ahead of the opening of Saad’s solo exhibition at I DE V / l’étrangère. | Posted @withregram • @bobconsideringart In my first podcast since the summer break, award-winning multi-media artist @saad_qureshi_studio tells me about how memory is a recurring theme in his works and he shares his memories of his childhood in Pakistan before coming to Bradford at the age of nine. He witnessed riots there and his sculptures reference cultural and religious harmony. He talks about the symbolism of birds and how his recent exhibitions, including his upcoming A Handful of Paradise @i_de_v_letrangere centre on the concept of paradise and how he has visualised differing views of it into sculptured he calls “mindscapes”. Great listen, link in bio. #artpodcast #artpodcasts #artinlondon #contemporaryart #contemporarysculpture #saadqureshi #mindscape #paradise #sculpture #tanabana #soloshow #storytelling #contemporaryart #weaving #paper #tapestry #idevletrangere #londongalleries #fitzrovia #fitzroviagalleries #ridinghousestreet #bradford
