Pakistani artist Imran Qureshi's solo show opens in Paris.

Titled 'The Seeming Endless Path of Memory", the exhibit opened at the prestigious Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac.

Lahore-based Pakistani artist, Imran Qureshi and his work have made it to Paris.

The artist's solo show titled ' The Seeming Endless Path of Memory' opened at the coveted Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac in Paris, France.

Indeed, the exhibition title, The Seeming Endless Path of Memory, along with the titles of the works on display, echo the words of Pakistani poet Faiz Ahmed Faiz (1911-1984) which are prevailing throughout Qureshi's work. They reveal various social and cultural connotations, and subtly reflect the threat of violence as a continuous motif."
