Between Two Fires

Through her lavishly painted found objects, Adeela Suleman contemplates humanity’s fascination with, and the continued presence of, violence across histories and geographies. The objects feature the techniques and motifs of South Asian miniature painting, and are inspired by a range of historical events, sites and artistic traditions from the Mughal courts to European medieval knights. Across a collection of delicate ceramic and enamel plates and dishes, Suleman depicts bloodied scenarios and violent encounters as part of her broader practice, which has continually explored local artisanal techniques and found objects to confront themes of political urgency.
